Saturated Fat (solid at room temperature)
Mono-unsaturated
Poly-unsaturated
Hydrogenation (H+ + unsaturated fat)
Trans fatty acids
4
Fats and Health
O Cholesterol
*required for synthesis of cell membranes, vitamin D, and hormones
O High Density Lipo-Protein (HDLs) – good cholesterol; transport cholesterol
out of arteries
O Low Density Lipo-Protein (LDLs) – bad cholesterol; transport cholesterol to
organs and tissues, causing fat deposits on arterial walls
O Absorbs Fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E & K)
O Make up 25%-35% of total daily calories
O 7% from saturated fat
O 10% from polyunsaturated fat
O 20% from monounsaturated fat

O Adults
O Men 17 grams per day of linoleic and 1.6 grams of alpha-linoleic
O Women 12 grams per day of linoleic and 1.1 grams of alpha-linoleic
O Only 3-4 teaspoons (15-20 grams) of vegetable oil per day
O AMDRs for total fat 20-35%
AMDR=Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges

Carbohydrates
O Supply energy for the body cells
O Two groups
O Simple Carbs: One or two sugar units
O Fruit, sugar, honey, malt (e.g., barley or wheat), and milk
O Complex Carbs: Multiple sugar units
O Starches and fiber
O Grains – wheat, rye, rice, oats, barley, and millet (white grains)
O Legumes – dry beans, peas, and lentils
O Tubers – potatoes and yams
O Digestion
O Mouth and small intestines
O Break down to glucose
7
Refined Carbohydrates Versus
Unrefined (Whole) Grains
O All grains before processing
O Inner layer, germ
O Middle layer, endosperm
O Outer layer, bran
O During processing
O Germ and bran are removed leaving just the starch of the
endosperm
8
Glycemic Index and
Glycemic Response
O Insulin and glucose levels
O Quick rise in glucose and insulin levels
= high glycemic index
O Eating high glycemic index foods may
increase appetite
O May increase risk of diabetes and
heart disease
O Unrefined grains, fruits, vegetables
and legumes – relatively low
glycemic index

Recommended Carbohydrate Intake
O Average American – 200-300 grams
O 130 grams needed to meet the body’s requirements for
essential carbohydrates
O Adults – 45-65% of total daily calories or 225-325
grams
10
Fiber
O Food and Nutrition Board
O Dietary fiber nondigestible carbohydrate that is
present naturally
O Functional fiber nondigestible carbohydrate that has
been isolated or synthesized
O Total fiber is the sum of both
O Sources
O All plant substances
O Recommended intake
O 38 grams for adult men
O 25 grams for adult women
O Needs to come from foods not supplements
11
Vitamins
O Organic (carbon-containing) substances required
in small amounts to promote specific chemical
reactions (catalyst) within a living cell.
O Thirteen vitamins:
O Four Fat Soluble: A, D, E, and K.
O Nine Water Soluble: C and 8 B-complex vitamins. Thiamin (B1),
Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Pyridoxine (B6), Folate, B-12, Biotin
and Pantothenic acid.
O Sources:
O Human body does not manufacture most vitamins
O Abundant in fruits, vegetables and grains
12
Minerals
O Inorganic compounds.
O Helps to regulate body functions, aid in growth,
maintenance of body tissues, and a catalyst
for energy release.
O 17 essential minerals.
O Major minerals -
100 milligrams or more.
O calcium, phosphorus (e.g., additives), magnesium (e.g.,
nuts), sodium, potassium, iron, and chloride (e.g.,
additives, such as sodium chloride).
13
Water
O Composed of about 50-60% water
O Can live up to 50 days without food , but only a
few days without water
O Water and other beverages make-up 80-90% of
your daily water intake
O Men – 3.7 total liters of water, with 3.0 liters
(13 cups) coming from beverages
O Women – 2.7 total liters of water, with 2.2 (9
cups) coming from beverages
14
Other Substances in Food
Antioxidants –
O Reduction in cancers
O Vitamin C & E, selenium (e.g.,
nuts), carotenoids
O Phytochemicals

Basal Metabolic Rate
Your basal metabolic rate, or BMR, is the minimum calorific
requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual. It can be
looked at as being the amount of energy (measured in calories)
expended by the body to remain in bed asleep all day!
BMR can be responsible for burning up to 70% of the total calories
expended, but this figure varies due to different factors (see below).
Calories are burned by bodily processes such as respiration, the
pumping of blood around the body and maintenance of body
temperature. Obviously the body will burn more calories on top of
those burned due to BMR.
Harris-Benedict
Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age)
Women: BMR = 655 + (9.6 X wt in kg) + (1.8 X ht in cm) - (4.7 X age)
Note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
1 kilogram = 2.2 lbs.
Example:
You are female
You are 30 yrs old
You are 5' 6 " tall (167.6 cm)
You weigh 120 lbs. (54.5 kilos)
Your BMR = 655 + 523 + 302 - 141 = 1339
calories/day
Activity Multiplier
Sedentary = BMR X 1.2 (little or no exercise, desk job)
Lightly active = BMR X 1.375 (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk)
Mod. active = BMR X 1.55 (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk)
Very active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk)
Extr. active = BMR X 1.9 (hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day
training, i.e marathon, contest etc.)
Example:
Your BMR is 1339 calories per day
Your activity level is moderately active (work out 3-4 times per week)
Your activity factor is 1.55
Your TDEE = 1.55 X 1339 = 2075 calories/day
