Sources\of\nutrition
- The\primary\function\of\carbohydrates\is\to\provide\energy\for\the\body\-
\130g/day\for\ adults\&children\(45%-65%)
● Monosaccharides;\glucose,\fructose,\galactose
● Disaccharides;\sucrose,\lactose,\maltose,
● Polysaccharides;\complex\carbohydrate
- Fiber;\\adds\bulk,\stimulates\peristalsis\to\ease\elimination\&\helps\lessen\cholest
erol\&\incidence\of\intestinal\cancers
● Women\25g/day\&\men\38g/day
Protein;\tissue-building;\balance\of\nitrogen\&\water\(0.8g/day)
- Complete\protein;\animal\source\&\soy
- Incomplete\protein;\plant\sources
- Vegans\lack\vitamin\B12\due\to\just\consuming\plants
Lipids:\the\concentrated\form\of\stored\energy,\hormone\production,\cell\wall\structure,\ p
adding,\insulation,\cover\nerve\fibers,\aid\in\the\absorption\of\fat-soluble\vitamins
- 200-300\mg/day\&\10%\or\less\should\come\from\saturated\at\sources
- Dark\meat,\poultry\skin,\dairy\foods,\added\oils
Lipids\provide\9cal/g\of\energy\&\are\the\densest\form\of\store\energy
Triglycerides:\supply\energy,\allow\fat-soluble\vitamin\support,\form\adipose\tissue
- Saturated\fatty\acids:\solid\@\room\temp-animal\sources
- Unsaturated:\includes\monounsaturated\(nuts,\canola\oil,\olives,\avocado,\pean
uts)&\polyunsaturated\(corn,\wheat\&\germ,\fish\soybean,\safflower,\sunflower)\
From\plants
● Essential\fatty\acids:\broken\down\fats,\supplied\by\diet\(omega\3\&\6-
support\blood\clotting,\BP,\inflammatory\responses)
Iron\is\responsible\for\oxygen\distribution\to\hemoglobin\&\myoglobin
- Iron\consists\of\two\forms;\heme\iron\-\meat,\fish,\poultry\/\non-
heme;\grains\legumes\&\veggies
Chapter\2;\Metabolic\rate\refers\to\the\speed\at\which\food\energy\is\burned

Acute\stress\↑\metabolism,\blood\glucose\levels,\protein\catabolism
- protein\deficiency\as\stress\hormone\breaks\down\protein\at\rapid\rates
- ↑\risk\of\complications\from\severe\trauma/illness\(skin\breakdown,\delayed\w

● Protein\requirements\↑\72g/kg,\↑\to\25%\of\total\calories
● Prolonged\stress\affects\the\metabolic\rate,\lactation\&\puberty(↑)
● ↓\basal\metabolic\rate:\short/overweight\body\build,\starvation/malnutritio
n,\>60\yrs\of\age
Strategies\to\increase\protein,\and\caloric\content
- add\skim\milk\powder\to\the\milk
- use\whole\milk\in\recipes\instead\of\H20
- add\cheese,\peanut\butter,\chopped\hard-boiled\eggs,\and\yogurt\to\the\food
- dip\meats\in\eggs\or\milk\&\coat\with\bread\crumbs\before\cooking\&\nuts/dried\beans
Chapter\3;\BMI
:
● Healthy:\18.5-24.9
● Overweight:\25-29.9
● Underweight;\<18.5
● Obesity:\>3

- Assess\critically\ill\patients\at\risk\for\malnutrition
- Levels\can\decrease\with\the\inflammatory\process\resulting\in\an\inac
curate\measurement
- Used\to\measure\effectiveness\of\total\parenteral\nutr

● Albumin:\3.5-5.0\g/dl
● Prealbumin:\15-36\mg/dl
Nitrogen\Balance
- Relationship\between\protein\breakdown\(metabolism)\&\\protein\synthesis\(anab
olism)\Neutral\nitrogen\balance=\adequate\nutritional\intake
Positive\nitrogen\balance=protein\synthesis,\want\enough\to\heal
Negative\nitrogen\balance=\protein\used\@\greater\rate,\don’t\have\enough\protein
Obesity\medication;
● Orlistat;\prevents\the\digestion\of\fats
● Adverse\effects;\oily\discharge,\reduced\food\&\vitamin\absorption,\decreased\bile
\flow,\ loose\oily\stools;\abdominal\cramps\&\fecal\incontinence
- Lorcaserin;\stimulates\serotonin\receptors\in\the\hypothalamus\in\the\brain\t
