|
Nutrition |
The process by which an animal or plant takes and uses food substances for growth and/or repair of tissues |
|
|
calorie small "c" |
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temp of 1g of water by 1deg C |
|
|
Calorie big "C" |
A unit of expression of energy = 1000 calories. The amount of heat energy required to rasie the temp of 1kg or liter of water by 1deg C |
|
|
Kilocalorie |
= 1000 calories. Amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of liter of water by 1deg C |
|
|
Resting metabolic rate - RMR |
The amount of energy expended while at rest
RMR = 70% |
|
|
Thermic effect of food - TEF |
The amount of energy expended above RMR as a result of digesting food.
TEF = 6-10% |
|
|
Energy expended during physical activity |
Amount of energy expended above RMR and TEF associated with physical activity
= 20% |
|
|
Total daily energy expenditure - TDEE AKA "TEE" |
Weight (lb) x 10 = RMR RMR x activity factor = TDEE
light = 1.2-1.3 // low active 1.5-1.6 // active 1.6-1.7 // heavy =1.9-2.1 |
|
|
Protein |
Amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Essential (cannot be made by the body and must be ingested) and nonessential (occurs natrually).
Function: used to build or repair tissue

|
Essential protein |
Cannot be made by the body and must be ingested
EX: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine |
|
|
Nonessential protein |
Naturally occurring in the body
EX: alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, gultamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, tryosine |
|
|
Carbohydrate |
Neutral compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (such as sugars, starches, and celluloses). Function: chief source of energy |
|
|
Lipids |
A group of compounds that includes triglycerides, phospholipids and sterols.
Function: carriers for fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) which aids in absorbtion of calcium - bones and teeth
9 calories per gram |
|
|
Fatty acid |
Saturated Unsaturated |
|
|
Water |
Sedentary Men = 3L = 13cups Women = 2.2L = 9 cups
Function: endocrine gland function, liver functions improve, metabolic function improves, body temp regulation improve, nutrients carried |
