Question 2 0 / 0 pts Question 3 0 / 0 pts Question 4 0 / 0 pts Question 5 0 / 0 pts The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you are told that you should not consume any more than 52 % of your calories from carbohydrates, how many grams of carbohydrates should you eat in a day? 2000 x .52 = 1040 1040 calories / 4 = 260 grams of carbs If a fudge brownie has 9 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein and 12 grams of fat. How many calories are in the brownie? Carb: 9 x 4 = 36 Pro: 1 x 4 = 4 Fat: 12 x 9 =108 36 + 4 + 108 = 148 calories Name the key hormone that causes a feeling of satiety. Indicate where in the body it is produced and the process by which it operates. Leptin is produced by the fat cells which are also known as adipose tissue. The role of leptin is to alert the brain to turn off the hunger center and activate the satiety center when consuming a meal. There are six classes of nutrients. Name three that are considered macronutrients. Carbohydrates, Protein, Lipids/Fats and Water If a fudge brownie has 22 grams of carbohydrates, 2 gram of protein and 16 grams of fat. How many calories are in the brownie? Carb: 22 x 4 = 88 Pro: 2 x 4 = 8 Fat: 16 x 9 =144 88 + 8 + 144 = 240 calories This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :35:00 GMT -06:00 Portage Learning.

Hunger is the internal drive to find and eat food. It is often experienced as a negative sensation. Appetite is the external drive that encourages us to find and eat food. It is related to pleasant sensations associated with food. The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you are told that you should not consume any more than 23 % of your calories from fat, how many grams of fat should you eat in a day? 2000 x .23 = 460 460 calories / 9 = 51.1 grams of fat List and define the three states of nutritional health. Desirable nutrition is achieved by eating a variety of foods which provide all the essential nutrients to support normal body functions. Over-nutrition is the excess consumption of calories, fats, saturated fats and cholesterol which increase the risk for chronic disease. Under-nutrition occurs when nutrient intake does not meet nutrient needs and over time health begins to decline. There are six classes of nutrients. Name three that regulate body processes. Proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals and water An individual’s health can be assessed using the ABCDE's of nutritional assessment. Below, indicate what each letter represents. A - Athropometrics- measurements of body composition such as height and weight B - Biochemical- measurement of nutrients in blood, urine and feces C - Clinical - physical exam and general appearance D - Dietary- review of dietary intake and assessment E - Environmental- background, family history, life style and living conditions This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :35:00 GMT -06:00
