Quest # 1 Nutrition Info Outline—all put in own words, nothing copied from a book Major Nutrients Basic Definitions: Nutrients—consumables that perform a function in the human body Calories—units of measurement of energy Macro-Caloric Nutrients (Large with Calories) Proteins (4 calories/gram)–Made up of amino acids (AA’s); there are 20 amino acids; 9 are Essential Amino Acids (EAA’s); 11 are Endogenously created (they are made from ingredients in the body) Complete Proteins—have all 9EAA’s (or all 20 AA’s) Sources of Complete Proteins Enzymes that break Proteins down to AA’s Meat pepsin—breaks long chains into short Eggs trypsin—breaks short chains into AA’s Dairy Incomplete Proteins—DO NOT have all 9 EAA’s Complementary Proteins–2+ Incomplete Proteins that together have all 9 EAA’s, creating a Complete Protein Carbohydrates (4 calories/gram)—the preferred fuel of the body Simple Carbs Monosaccharides Glucose Fructose Galactose Disaccharides Enzyme that breaks it down Maltose = glucose + glucose Maltase Sucrose = glucose + fructose Sucrase Lactose = glucose + galactose Lactase Complex Carbs Fiber (2 calories/gram) Soluble Insoluble Polysaccharides (Starch, etc.) Fats (Lipids)(9 calories/gram)—heat, & cushioning Saturated Unsaturated Mono-Unsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA’s) Poly-Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA’s) Omega 3’s Omega 6’s Other (for our purposes) Triglycerides Cholesterol HDL’s (High Density Lipoproteins)—‘good cholesterol’ LDL’s (Low Density Lipoproteins)—‘bad cholesterol’ Trans Fats (Hydrogenated Fats)—result of high heat applied to PUFA’s & used to extend shelf life of foods. Macro-Non-Caloric Nutrient (Large, No Calories) Water Micro-Non-Caloric Nutrients (Small, No Calories) Vitamins Fat Soluble Vitamin D—helps uptake calcium Vitamin E—potent antioxidant Vitamin K—helps in blood clotting Vitamin A– Water Soluble Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12—various energy uptake and production functions Vitamin C—antioxidant and bone health Biotin– Choline Folate Pantothenic acid Minerals Metals Na, Mg, K, Ca Non-Metals F, P, Cl, Se, I Transition Metals Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mo PhytoChemicals Just remember anticancer for now. We’ll go into details later. They give fruits and vegetables their color.
