Nutrition:
Where do we get our nutrients?
MacroMolecules, Vitamins and Minerals
Engage
Is there a
better
solution???
If there was a magic pill obesity would not
be at epidemic proportions in the US.
Our body needs essential nutrients for
growth, health and overall well being. We
cannot be sedentary and deny our body
these essentials and be healthy.
You need to be aware of the vital
nutrients, vitamins and minerals available
in everyday foods.

Exploration 1
Identifying Organic Compounds Lab

You will test common foods for the presence of carbohydrates,
lipids, proteins and nucleic acids
Exploration 2
Food Labels

You will view various food labels and analyze the nutritional value of
various food items.
Exploration 2
Calorimetry Lab

By burning a piece of food, you will determine the amount of
chemical energy (calories) that are present within the tested foods.
You will study various foods with different proportions of protein, fat,
and carbohydrates to see how much energy (calories) they release.

Nutrients – Seven Important
1. Water
1. Body needs water because
1. Most of the body processes either
need or take place in a water
environment
2. Loose water in your sweat, urine, and
exhalation
3. Need to drink at least a liter a day –
keep healthy
4. Not enough - dehydration
2. Carbohydrates

5.
Main source of energy for the body
1gram = 4 Kcal.
Monosaccarides (Simple carbs) found
in fruits, honey, and sugar cane
Polysaccarides (Complex carbs) found
in starches such as grains & potatoes
Polysaccarides are digested into
monosaccarides.

Food Guide Pyramid
Section 38-1
Fats, Oils, and Sweets (use sparingly)
Soft drinks, candy, ice cream, mayonnaise, and
other foods in this group have relatively few
valuable nutrients.
Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese Group
(2-3 Servings)
Milk and other dairy products are rich in
proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and
minerals.
Vegetable Group
(3-5 servings)
Vegetables are a low-fat
source of carbohydrates,
fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Fats
Sugars
Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs,
and Nut Group
(2-3 servings)
These foods are high in protein.
They also supply vitamins and minerals.
Fruit Group
(2-4 servings)
Fruits are good sources of
carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins
and water.
Bread, Cereal, Rice
and Pasta Group
(6-11 servings)

carbohydrates and also
provide proteins, fiber,
vitamins, and some
minerals.
