The document discusses the food pyramid and balanced diet, noting that diets should be based on energy needs, food preferences, and nutrient requirements. It outlines the major food groups in the pyramid and provides examples of common foods that fall under each group. The document also discusses nutrient needs changing as one grows, energy needs based on activity levels and body size, and using the food pyramid to develop a balanced menu. Key nutrients are defined along with their functions. A chart is included to match foods with their primary nutrients based on the food pyramid guidelines.

4

ENERGY NEEDS To be fit you should maintain a healthy weight. Extra activity requires extra calories. Children and teens need more calories than adults. Taller and bigger people need more calories than shorter and smaller people.

5

FOOD PREFERENCES Using foods that you enjoy and that are readily available to you, develop a one day menu that will meet the requirements on the food pyramid. Write your menu in your journal.

NUTRIENT REQUIREMENTS The food pyramid is a representative of nutrient needs and the primary food groupings that can provide them. Fats, oil and sweets Fats Carbohydrates

Milk, yogurt, cheese NUTRIENT REQUIREMENTS Fats Protein Vitamins, cheese and minerals

NUTRIENTS are used by the body for energy, growth, repair and cellular needs. Nutrient Function FATS Provide the body with a stored form of energy, warmth and insulation for body organs.

13

CARBOHYDRATES Provide the body with an immediate source of energy. PROTEIN Helps the body grow, makes muscles strong and repairs body tissues.

14

VITAMINS AND MINERALS Help to release energy and help the body perform many functions including: fighting infections and making strong bones and teeth.
