- 15. Macronutrients Nutrient Function Food Source Building Block Examples Carbohydrate Fast (easy-access) energy Fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy & starchy foods Saccharides (sugars) Glucose, Dextrose, Maltose, Lactose, Fructose, Cellulose Fat Stored energy, insulation, vitamin storage, hormone- building, cell membranes Animal fats & vegetable oils Fatty Acids Saturated & Unsaturated fats Protein Building cell structures, oxygen transport, immune defenses, & chemical reactions Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, dairy, legumes Amino Acids Membrane receptors, hemoglobin, antibodies, enzymes
- 16. Macronutrients Nutrients your body needs in large amounts: •Carbohydrates – Quick fuel for cell functions •Lipids – Stored energy, insulation & cushioning, vitamin storage, and cell membrane structure •Proteins – many cell functions (reactions & building cell structures)
- 17. Carbohydrates • Fast fuel for cell functions • In fruits, vegetables & grains • Building block = saccharides (sugars) • All carbs are NOT equal! – some are better for you than others C6H12O6
- 18. Carbohydrate Digestion, 1g = 4cal Polysaccharide Chain Monosaccharides 1. Saliva begins to break down sugars – simple sugars break down quickly – complex carbohydrates take longer to digest (fiber & starch) 2. In stomach, most carbs have already been digested into single or double sugars (mono- or disaccharides) – some glucose diffuses into bloodstream here (active transport) 3. Intestines absorb remaining carbohydrates – most sugars are first sent to the liver for conversion to into glucose and release into the bloodstream – excess glucose is stored in the liver (up to 100g) or muscles (up to 500g) as glycogen – with the help of insulin, blood glucose is transported into cells for ATP production 4. Carbs that cannot be used by cells or stored as glycogen are converted into fat Disaccharide s i.e. galactose, fructose glucose ATP
- 19. Lipids (Fats) • Slow/stored fuel for cell functions – also for insulation, cell structure, hormone production & vitamin storage • In animal fats (butter/lard) & vegetable oils (olive/canola/corn) • Building block = fatty acids • NOT all fats are equal! – some are better for you than others – our bodies can make some kinds of fats – others, we can only get through food C12H25COOH
- 20. Fat Digestion, 1g = 9cal Fatty Acids mechanical digestion & bile salts chop up big molecules in intestines emulsifiers & smooth muscle peristalsis break down big lipids into smaller droplets pancreatic juices then surround fats as they are further broken up monoglycerides and fatty acids diffuse into microvilli cells smooth ER & Golgi process molecules before sending them into bloodstream fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, & K) tag along with fats as they cross membranes body uses or stores for energy, to produce hormones, & to replace cell structures Monoglycerides Big Lipid Molecule
- 21. Protein Digestion, 1g = 4cal Whole Protein Chain Amino Acids • Stomach acid and enzymes (pepsin) break long chains into short segments • Pancreatic juices break bonds further in the intestine • Amino acids enter intestinal wall cells via active transport or endocytosis – bloodstream carries to cells – DNA provides instructions to build antibodies & hemoglobin, muscle fibers, collagen in skin, & other cell structures Peptide Fragments

Notes de l'éditeur
- Which has the most calories? (Snickers bar) Which has least? (Spinach)
- Play as a race with buzzers, or a BINGO-type game, or keep score with the question # being the points awarded. Pay CLOSE ATTENTION to serving size!
- Use NOTEBOOKS to keep track of nutrients for meals/food combinations. Meal/sandwich must be something you would eat. Optional: bring several different breads, nut butters, and meats/cheeses, along with some veggies so they can actually MAKE and EAT their team sandwich.
- Photo Credit cristal-glass sugar-bowl and white sugar image by Maria Brzostowska from Fotolia.com The human body has an efficient and complex system of storing and preserving energy. Glucose is a type of sugar that the body uses for energy. Glucose is the product of breaking down carbohydrates into their simplest form. Carbohydrates should make up approximately 45 to 65 percent of your daily caloric intake, according to MayoClinic.com. Food Sources of Glucose Glucose is a simple sugar found in carbohydrates. When more complex carbohydrates such as polysaccharides and disaccharides are broken down in the stomach, they break down into the monosaccharide glucose. Carbohydrates serve as the primary energy source for working muscles, help brain and nervous system functioning and help the body use fat more efficiently. Function of Glucose Once carbohydrates are absorbed from food, they are carried to the liver for processing. In the liver, fructose and galactose, the other forms of sugar, are converted into glucose. Some glucose gets sent to the bloodstream while the rest is stored for later energy use. Stored Glucose Once glucose is inside the liver, glucose is phosphorylated into glucose-6-phosphate, or G6P. G6P is further metabolized into triglycerides, fatty acids, glycogen or energy. Glycogen is the form in which the body stores glucose. The liver can only store about 100 g of glucose in the form of glycogen. The muscles also store glycogen. Muscles can store approximately 500 g of glycogen. Because of the limited storage areas, any carbohydrates that are consumed beyond the storage capacity are converted to and stored as fat. There is practically no limit on how many calories the body can store as fat. Liver Glycogen The glucose stored in the liver serves as a buffer for blood glucose levels. Therefore, if the blood glucose levels start to get low because you have not consumed food for a period of time, the liver is able to release glucose into the bloodstream to maintain healthy levels. Blood glucose levels are tightly regulated because glucose is the primary energy source for the central nervous system. Blood glucose also is important for sustaining brain functioning. If the body reserves of glucose deplete, a process called gluconeogenesis will take place. During gluconeogenesis, glucose is synthesized from molecules that are not carbohydrates. Often, this means the body will break down muscle fibers to obtain the molecules to produce glucose. Muscle Glycogen Muscle glycogen reserves are stored energy for the muscles. The glycogen is able to be broken back down into glucose when the muscle contracts and requires energy. The body is able to store 500 g of glycogen, roughly equivalent to 2,000 calories, in the muscles. Therefore, if you did not eat for a day, you will have drastically depleted these stores. After an intense workout, when these glycogen stores have been tapped into, consuming carbohydrates will replenish these reserves.
