Calories
• Unit to measure energy from food.
Aerobic
• With oxygen.
Metabolic
• Rate at which your body converts food
energy into the energy that keeps you
alive.
Flexibility
• Ability of a body part to move through a full
range of motion.
Physical fitness
• The ability of the body to carry out daily
physical activities without getting out of
breath or tired.
Endurance
• The ability of the muscle to keep working
over a period of time.
Anaerobic
• Without oxygen.
Isometric
• Strengthening/contracting a muscle with
NO movement. (planks).
Isotonic
• Strengthening through a full range of
motion.
Isokinetic
• Strengthening with continuous speed but
with variable resistance, usually a
machine.
Saturated fat
• Made of saturated fatty acids, solid at
room temperature and come in animal
foods.
Unsaturated fat
• Fats that are made up of unsaturated fatty
acids, found in plants are liquid at room
temperature.
Fiber
• Type of complex carbohydrate that cannot
be digested.
Vitamins
• Class of nutrients that contain carbon and
are needed in small amounts to maintain
health and allow growth
Protein
• Help build new cells and repair existing
ones, made up of amino acids.
Fat
• Lipids, fatty or oily substances that don’t
dissolve in water, energy giving nutrients.
Carbohydrates
• Sugars, starch, simple and complex
carbohydrates.
Fat soluble vitamins
• Dissolve in fat.
Water soluble
vitamins

Bulimia
• Eating disorder in which an individual eats
large amounts of food and then vomits to
rid the body of the food.

• Class of nutrients that are chemical
elements that are needed for certain
processes such as enzyme activity and
bone formation.
Daily values
• Recommended daily amounts of a nutrient
that are used on food labels to help people
see how a food fits into their diet.
Recommended daily
allowances
• Recommended nutrient intakes that will
meet the needs of almost all healthy
people.
Soluble fiber
• Dissolve in water, they hold water in your
intestines, help prevent heart disease.
