Two types of metabolism

aerobic and anaerobic

Aerobic

uses oxygen to convert food to energy. low intensity, long endurance activities

Anaerobic

does not need oxygen. small amount of energy but released quickly. fuels short bursts of high intensity activity

Macronutrients

chemicals found in large quantities in foods we need. ex: water, protein, carbs, fats. energy is derived from them

Micronutrients

vitamins and minerals required in small amounts. best obtained by eating a variety of food.

Daily calories from carbs

50%



Carbs

primary energy source for short term, high intensity activity. converted to glucose and glycogen. fuels anaerobic activity. required by the central nervous system

Daily calories from fat

30%

Fats

stored under skin and around muscles. precursor to steroid hormones and vitamin D. protects vital organs. regulates hunger. fuel for low to moderate activities.

Daily calories from protein

20%

Protein

water
