    Here are the steps to find the calories in the meal: - 1 cup of rice (carbohydrate): 130 calories - 3 ounces of chicken (protein): 90 calories - 1 teaspoon of olive oil (fat): 40 calories Total calories = 130 + 90 + 40 = 260 calories So the total number of calories in the meal consisting of 1 cup of rice, 3 ounces of chicken, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil is 260 calories.

    Macronutrients

    11th Grade Chemistry


    Nutrients
     Substances the body needs to…
     regulate body functions
     repair body tissues
     promote growth
     obtain energy

     Most nutrients come from the food we eat.


    Common Analogy
     The body is like a high-performance race
    car.
     Food is like fuel.
     The body (car) needs high quality food
    (fuel) to keep it running its best.

    Unfortunately, there are serious problems


    with this overly-simplified analogy.
    Classes of Nutrients
    MACRONUTRIENTS
     Carbohydrates

     Proteins

     Fats
    PROVIDE ENERGY
     Water

     Vitamins

     Minerals MICRONUTRIENTS

    DO NOT PROVIDE ENERGY


    Calorie
     Energy from food
     Equals the amount of
    energy needed to raise a
    liter of water by one degree
    Celsius
     The chemical process by
    which the body breaks
    down food to release
    energy (Calories) is called
    metabolism.
    Energy Content

    Trick Question: How many calories per gram


    are there in water, vitamins, and minerals?
    Nutrient Highlights
    CARBOHYDRATES
     Primarily
    serve as a source of energy
     Can be classified as…
    SIMPLE

    or
    COMPLEX
    CARBOHYDRATES continued
     Most of your high carbohydrate foods
    should also be high in FIBER (a complex
    carbohydrate FROM PLANTS that helps
    your body with digestion… though your
    body doesn’t actually digest it.)
     45-65% of a person’s daily calories
    should come from carbohydrates.

     Which foods are fiber rich?


     What are some benefits of fiber?
    FATS
     Serve as a source of energy
     Also form cells, maintain body temperature,
    protect nerves, etc.
     Cholesterol is a waxy, fatlike substance that is
    found only in animal products. Your body needs
    cholesterol (to make cell membranes and nerve
    tissue) but your body makes all that it needs. A
    diet high in cholesterol is a risk factor for heart
    disease.
     20-35% of a person’s daily calories should
    come from (healthy) fats.
     What are some “healthy” fats?
     Fats Can be classified as…

     Thereare a total of 20 amino acids. Our bodies


    make 11, the remaining 9 are called essential
    amino acids and we need to get them from the
    foods we eat.
    PROTEIN
     Serve as a source of energy
     Also aid in the growth and repair of body
    tissue
     Protein “chains” are made up of amino
    acids
     Amino acids are small units that are bound
    together chemically to form proteins. Your
    body can make 11 of them but your diet
    must supply the remaining 9.
    “Essential”
    amino acids
    PROTEIN continued…

    Proteins from animals are “complete”


    proteins – They contain all 9 essential
    amino acids.

    Proteins from plants are


    “incomplete” proteins – They do
    not contain all 9 essential amino
    acids in one source, but can be
    eaten in combination to do so.
    Use the data to find the
    calories of the following meal
