1. What are the macronutrients?
❖ Macronutrients: nutrients that deliver calories or energy/fuel to the body. The body
needs these nutrients for growth, its metabolism and other body functions. Macro means
large/big → nutrients that the body needs in huge amounts.
1kcal is the amount of energy that will raise the temp of 1 kg of water by 1 degree
Celsius:
• Carbohydrates → 4.2 kcal/1 gram of carbohydrates
• Fats → 9.4 kcal/1 gram of fats
• Proteins → 4.2 kcal/1 gram of proteins
a. Carbohydrates (including fibers)
• Carbohydrates are made of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) and are a
major source of fuel for the body. Dietary carbohydrates are starches and sugars
found in grains, vegetable, legumes (dry beans and peas) and fruits.
• The body converts most dietary carbohydrates to glucose, a simple sugar compound.
It is glucose that can be found in the circulation, providing a source of energy for
cells and tissues.
• Simple carbohydrates are naturally present as simple sugars in fruit, milk and other
foods. Simple sugars are monosaccharides (glucose, fructose and galactose) or
disaccharides.
