1. Body Building “A Recipe”

2. CARBOHYDRATES Your BODY’S main SOURCE of ENERGY
SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES (Glucose)
Glucose stores SMALL amounts of ENERGY but it is the PREFERRED energy SOURCE!
Found in FOODS like fruits and vegetables
Protein
COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES (Starches)
Starches store LARGE amounts of energy and are Found in foods like Bread, Potatoes, Pasta, etc…
General Shape:
1 Hexagon
A series of Hexagons bonded together

3. PROTEIN (aka POLYPEPTIDES)
Your body is MADE of and USES 1000s of different protein molecules.
Each protein molecule has its OWN:
SIZE
SHAPE
STRUCTURE
FUNCTION
You MUST consume protein on a daily basis because your body CANNOT store it.
Protein
Foods that contain PROTEIN include:
FISH
EGGS
NUTS (peanuts, soy nuts, etc…)
RED MEATS
POULTRY
General Shape:
Contains 2 or more atoms of N

4. In GENERAL, LIPIDS come in 2 FORMS:
Fats (aka LIPIDS or TRIGLYCERIDES)
LIPIDS store MASSIVE amounts of energy but are NOT the PREFERRED energy source. So extra FAT is STORED!
In GENERAL, LIPIDS come in 2 FORMS:
SATURATED (solid fats)
Found in foods that come from ANIMALS! Ex- beef, butter, cheese, etc…
UNSATURATED (liquid fats)
Found in foods that come from PLANTS Ex- Olive Oil, Peanut Oil, Corn Oil, etc….
TRANS FATS are Unsaturated Fats that have been chemically changed so they WILL be solid (margarine, etc…)

6. Your cells know what to do with these food molecules because of…..
Nucleic acids Like DNA

BUILDING your BODY!
Your DNA builds you ACCORDING to YOUR instructions…that’s why we are ALL so DIFFERENT
