nutrient basics
science of substances found in food that are essential to life
carbohydrates
body's most efficient energy source; accounts for 55-70% of total caloric intake
simle sugars (candy) and complex- starch and fibers
starches
complex, body cant use directly, broken down in simple sugars (rice, bread, potatoes)
fiber
structural part of plant not digestible, aids normal elimintation of waste, reduces risk of colon cancer and coronary artery disease (recomended 25g per day)
fats
most concentrated source of energy, essential for growth and development, 40-50% of caloric intake
proteins
required for growth, maintenance, and repair of the body; aid w/ enzyme, hormone, and enzyme production; 12-15% of caloric intake
amino acids
basic units that compose proteins (20), most can be produced by the body and others must be consumed
vitamis
serve as regulators in many body processes
fat soluble- found in fatty foods and oils (A,D,E,K)
water soulble- help regulate metabolism but cant be stored (C,B-complex)
antioxidants
prevent premature aging, cancers, heart disease, and othe health problems; help protect cells from free radicals; (A,C,E)
vitamin dificiencies
illness that results from a deficit in a particular vitamin/mineral
minerals
more than 20 have essential roles in body, many are stored in liver and bones (iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium)
water
most essential nutrient and most abundant in body (60% of body weight), essential for all chemical processes, lack of water can lead to illness or death (2.5L a day)
RDA
Recomended Daily Allowance
DRI
Dietary Reference Intake
mineral supplementation
calcium and iron tend to be low and diets may need to be modified
calcium deficiency
most abundant mineral in body; if body's intake is low, the body will remove calcium from bones causing osteoperosis
iron deficiency
causes anemia, common in females; limits oxygen carrying capacity of blood; athlete may feel tired and week due to muscle inability to generate energy
protein supplementation
about 1-1.5 g/kg body weight of protein should be consumed for increasing muscle mass
pre-event nutrition
long term food consumption is important taking digestion into account

relationship b/w fat tissue and lean body tissue
averages:
-female 20-25% bw = fat (not below 12%)
-male 12-15% bw = fat (not below 3%)
