Carbohydrates

Sugars, starches, celluloses, and fiber; chief source of energy

Monosaccharide

Single sugar unit; Glucose, fructose, galactose

Disaccharides

2 sugar units; Sucrose, lactose, maltose

Polysaccharides

Long chains of monosaccharide units linked together; starch, fiber

Fiber

Complex carbohydrate; provides bulk of diet and intestinal health; regulates absorption of glucose

Soluble fiber

Dissolved by water; helps moderate blood glucose and lower cholesterol

Insoluble fiber

Does not dissolve in water

Glucose

Simple sugar made by the body from carbs, fats, and sometimes proteins; main source of fuel

Glycogen

Complex carbohydrate used to store energy in liver and muscle tissue

Glycemic index

The rate carb sources raise blood sugar and the effect on insulin release: hi equals greater than 70, moderate equals 56–69, low equals less than 55

Lipids

Monounsaturated: olive oil, avocado, peanut. Polyunsaturated: sunflower oil, soy oil, omega 3s. Saturated: meat, coconut oil, dairy

Triglycerides

Chemical form of most fat in food and in the body

Saturated fatty acid

Raises “bad“ LDL cholesterol

Trans – fatty acids

Used to increase shelf life and foods; Raises bad and lowers good cholesterol

Unsaturated fatty acid

Increases “good” HDL cholesterol; decreases risk of heart disease

Monounsaturated fatty acid

Lipid missing one hydrogen; one double bond

Polyunsaturated fatty acid

Lipids with more than one point of unsaturation

Protein

Amino acids linked by peptide bonds

Essential amino acids

Cannot be manufactured by the body; must be obtained from food; there are eight

Nonessential

Can be manufactured by the body

Complete protein

Supplies all essential amino acids in appropriate ratios

Incomplete protein

Contains less than all eight essential amino acids in appropriate ratios

Micronutrients

Vitamins and minerals needed for health

Toxicity

Degree to which a substance causes harm

Water percentage of body

60%

Sedentary adult water consumption

3 L Per day for men, 2.2 L per day for women

Overweight water recommendation

Extract the answers of fluid for every 25 pounds overweight

Calorie

Amount of heat energy required to raise 1 g of water by 1°C

Resting metabolic rate RMR

Amount of energy expended at rest

Thermic effect of food TEF

Additional energy use for digestion; 6 to 10% of total energy expenditure

Energy expended during physical activity

Around 20% of total energy expenditure

Protein intake

4 cal per gram. Sedentary adult .4 g per pound per day. Strength athletes .5 -.8 g per pound per day. Endurance athletes .5 to .6 g per pound a day. 10 to 35% diet

Carbohydrate intake

4 cal per gram. 6 to 10 g per kilogram per day. 25 to 30 g from fiber. 45 to 65% of diet

Fats

9 cal per gram. Should be 20 to 35% of total intake. High polyunsaturated to saturated ratio is desirable

Carbs for performance

You are a high carb meal 2 to 4 hours before exercise. Eat 30 to 60 g every hour during exercise lasting more than 60 minutes. Eat 1.5 g per kilogram body weight 30 minutes after exercise to maximize glycogen replenishment

Dietary reference intakes DRI

Guidelines for adequate intake of the nutrient

Recommended dietary allowance RDA

Average daily nutrient intake level to meet the requirement of nearly all healthy individuals

Tolerable upper intake UL

Highest average daily intake level Likely to pose no risk to help

Adequate intake AI

Recommended average daily nutrient intake level adequate for healthy individuals
