1. Objective: Understand carbohydrates and what foods they are found in. Warm up: 1. What is your favorite source of carbs?

2. CARBOHYDRATES

3. CARBOHYDRATES The main function of carbohydrates is to provide energy. Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram

4. CARBOHYDRATES 45-65% of our food should come from carbohydrates.

5. CARBOHYDRATES If we eat more carbohydrates than are needed for energy, the extra is stored in the liver or in the tissues as fat.

6. The 2 types of Carbohydrates a)SIMPLE CARBS = Natural & Refined SUGARS a)COMPLEX CARBS = STARCHES Complex starches will BREAK DOWN into simple sugars.

7. Simple Carbohydrates Simple carbohydrates are quick energy sources. They come from sugar. They do not usually supply any other nutrients or fiber.

8. Examples of Simple Carbohydrates 1. Soft Drinks 2. Cookies 3. Jam 4. Honey 5. Syrup 6. Sugar Candy

46. Complex Carbohydrates Complex carbohydrates break down into simple sugars in the digestion process. This process is what gives us longer lasting energy

55. Nutrients Found in the Grain Group Fat Complex Carbohydrates B vitamins (Riboflavin, Niacin, Thiamin) Incomplete Protein

56. 3 parts of a wheat kernel Endosperm: starch, protein Germ: Unsaturated fatty acids, B vitamins, Vitamin E, Iron, Zinc Bran: Fiber, vitamins, minerals

57. Starch Protein Fiber Vitamins Minerals “B” Vitamins Fiber Vitamin E Iron

58. Carbohydrates Include Glucose or blood sugar is the basic source of energy for all living things. Found in fruits, veggies, grains Sucrose or table sugar is made from sugar beets or sugar cane. Fructose is sugar found in fruit, honey and vegetables. Maltose is grain starch broken down into sugar. Lactose is milk sugar.

59. How do you know if a food has added sugar?

60. Obesity in a bottle Create a poster about the amounts of sugar in different drinks. You need to represent 6 drinks on your poster. Measure out the correct amount of sugar and make your own “sugar packets” Cut out the pictures and food labels of the drinks you chose and glue them on the poster.
