The Six Major Nutrients
Eating healthful food helps you feel good and do your best.
Nutrients (NOO·tree·ents) are substances in foods that your body
needs in order to grow, have energy, and stay healthy. The six categories of nutrients are described below.
Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats
Carbohydrates (kar·boh·HY·drayts) are the starches and sugars
that provide energy. Starches are complex carbohydrates. They are
found in foods such as rice, pasta, breads, potatoes, beans, and corn.
Sugars are simple carbohydrates. They occur naturally in milk, fruit,
and honey. Sugar is also added to many foods.
Proteins (PROH·teenz) are nutrients used to repair body cells
and tissues. Proteins are made up of amino (uh·MEE·noh) acids.
Complete proteins contain all the essential amino acids. They are
found in foods from animal sources, such as meat, dairy products,
and eggs. Plant foods lack one or more essential amino acids, so
they’re incomplete proteins. However, eating a variety of plant
foods, such as beans, nuts, and grains, can provide all the essential
amino acids.
