Carbohydrate
s
● Types:\monosaccharides\(fructose,\glucose,\galactose),\disaccharides\(sucrose,\lact
ose,\ maltose),\polysaccharides\(starch,\fiber,\glycogen)
● Dietary\reference\intake\(DRI):\130\g/day\minimum\(45-65%\of\calories)
○ Median\amount:\305\g/day\for\males\>20\years\old;\228\g/day\for\children\&\
females\>20\years\old.
Fiber:\substance\in\plant\foods\that\is\indigestible
● Types:\pectin,\gum,\cellulose,\oligosaccharides
● Essential\for\proper\bowel\elimination-\adds\bulk\to\feces\to\stimulate\peristalsis
● Lowers\cholesterol\levels\&\decreases\risk\of\intestinal\cancer
● Slows\the\rate\of\glucose\absorption
● Adequate\intake\(AI):\25g/day\(females)\&\38g/day\(males)
Proteins
● Types:\complete\proteins\(animal\sources,\soy)\contain\sufficient\amounts\of\nine\essenti
al\ amino\acids\&\incomplete\(plant\sources)
○ Complementary\proteins:\incomplete\proteins\that\when\combined\provide\a
\ complete\protein\(black\beans\with\rice)
● Metabolic\functions:\tissue-
building\&\maintenance,\balance\of\nitrogen\&\water,\backup\ energy,\support\immune\sy
stem,\facilitating\acid-
base\&\electrolyte\balance,\&\formation\of\ neurotransmitters,\enzymes,\antibodies,\horm
ones,\breast\milk,\mucus,\histamine,\and\ sperm
● Factors\that\influence\body’s\requirement\for\protein
○ Tissue\growth\needs\(wounds)
○ Quality\of\dietary\protein
○ Added\needs\due\to\illness
● RDA:\0.8\g/kg\for\healthy\adults\(10-35%\of\total\calories)
Lipids\(dark\meats,\poultry\skin,\dairy,\added\oils):\concentrated\form\of\energy\storage
● Types:
○ Triglycerides:\total\of\95%\of\food
■ Saturated:\solid\at\room\temperature;\animal\sources\(butter,\lard)
■ Unsaturated:\olives,\canola\oil,\avocado,\and\peanuts\(mono);\corn,\whe
at\ germ,\soybean,\safflower,\sunflower\and\fish\(poly)
■ Essential\fatty\acids:\omega-3\and\omega-6
○ Phospholipids\(lecithin)
○ Sterols\(cholesterol):\found\in\animal\tissues
● Functions:\hormone\production,\structural\material\for\cells,\protective\padding\for\organs,
\ insulation,\covering\for\nerve\fibers,\absorption\of\fat-soluble\vitamins
● AMDR:\20-
Vitamins35%\of\total\calories\(<10%\should\come\from\saturated\fats)
Types:\water\soluble\(C\&\B),\fat\soluble\(A,\D,\E,\K)
● Vitamin\C\(ascorbic\acid):\tissue\building\&\metabolic\reactions\(healing,\collage
n\ formation,\iron\absorption,\immune\system\function)
○ Sources:\oranges,\lemons,\tomatoes,\peppers,\green\leafy\vegetables,\strawberries
○ Factors\that\increase\the\need\for\vitamin\c
