DO NOW
Directions: Try to remember what you have eaten
this past weekend. You do not have to list every
single food that you have eaten but at least 6
different ones. Next, write them down on your
notebook and classify them as one of the 6 main
nutrients. For example: Bread=Carbohydrate.
The 6 Basic Nutrients
Carbohydrates
Water
Fats
Six
Categories
of Nutrients
Minerals
Proteins
Vitamins
Carbohydrates
The fuel you body gets the most mileage from is
carbohydrates.
carbohydrates Sugars and starches
contained in foods
Simple Carbohydrates
Complex Carbohydrates
Sugars
Starches
(fruits, milk, table sugar)
(bread, rice, pasta, beans,
vegetables)
Carbohydrates are broken down by a process called digestion
Carbohydrates
Fiber is a complex carbohydrate that cannot
be digested.
fiber Tough, stringy part of raw fruits, raw vegetables,
whole wheat, and other whole grains
Fiber helps carry wastes out of your body.
Proteins
Proteins promote healing and aid in the repair
of tissues.
proteins Nutrients that provide the building
blocks your body needs for growth
Proteins
Fish, chicken, beef, eggs, milk, beans, nuts, soy-based products
Fats
Fats carry certain vitamins in your blood stream and
help keep your skin healthy.
fats A nutrient found in fatty animal
tissue and plant oils
Eating too many fatty foods can contribute to heart
disease and obesity.
Vitamins
Vitamins help your body use other nutrients and
fight disease.
vitamins Nutrients that help regulate body functions
Foods rich in vitamins include fruits, vegetables,
some meats, and whole-grain breads.
Minerals
Like vitamins, minerals are needed in only small
amounts.
minerals Elements in foods that help your body work properly
Calcium helps build strong bones and teeth.
Iron contributes to healthy blood.
Water
Two-thirds of your body is water (about 58%).
Water carries other nutrients around your body.
Water helps with digestion.
Drink when you are thirsty and with meals to help
your body get enough water.
Water
Most of the weight of these
foods is from water.
These nutrients below are
essential to provide your
body with energy.
These nutrients below do
NOT provide your body
with energy but are
important to the repair
and growth of it.

Essential Question:
Why is it important to have a positive body image?
Enduring Understanding:
Students will understand that a healthy self-concept is important
to a positive body image.
 body image
How you view your body
 eating disorder Extreme eating behavior that can seriously
damage the body
In this lesson, you will learn to
 explain how to maintain a healthy weight.
 identify problem eating behaviors.
 demonstrate decision-making skills to help a friend.
Weight Problems and Teens
Some children and teens are becoming obese,
which means they are significantly overweight.
People who are obese are at risk for developing
diseases such a diabetes and heart disease.
Treatment for Obese Teens
Obese teens should be under a doctor’s care.
Obese teens should reach a healthy weight slowly.
The best approach is to avoid gaining weight as
your body grows.
Respect for Others’ Bodies and Feelings
Some teens tease peers who are overweight or
underweight. This type of behavior shows a lack of
respect. It is a form of bias, acting cruelly to those who
look different. A person who does this is not
demonstrating good character.
Body Image and the Teen Years
Like your self-concept, your body image
may differ from how others see you.
body image How you view your body
Comparing yourself to images from
the media can lead to a negative
body image.
Eating Disorders
People who feel they may need to lose weight
when they really don’t are at risk for developing an
eating disorder.
eating disorder An extreme eating behavior that
can seriously damage the body
Eating Disorders
Two of the most common eating disorders are
anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
Anorexia: People with anorexia are overly
concerned with weigh gain. They may starve
themselves
Bulimia: People with bulimia eat large amounts of
food, then “purge” themselves by vomiting or taking
laxatives.
Treatment for Eating Disorders
A person with an eating disorder should get help
right away.
The sooner a person gets treatment, the better his
or her chances of recovering.

 Enduring Understandings:
Students will understand that MyPlate demonstrates and explains the
importance of different foods for a healthy diet.
 MyPlate
A system designed to help Americans make
healthful food choices
 Calorie Diet
A unit of heat that measures the energy
available in foods
Diet
A particular selection of food, especially as
designed or prescribed to improve a person's
physical condition or to prevent or treat a disease
In this lesson, you will learn to
 discuss how to use the USDA (United States Department of
Agriculture) Food Guidance System.
 list the names of the five food groups.
 demonstrate how to plan a nutrient-rich meal using MyPlate.
The MyPyramid Food Guidance System
The MyPlate Food Guidance was developed by
the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
MyPlate A system designed to help Americans
make healthful food choices
Do Now
Create a top 10 food list that you are going to eat
for the next four days. Please consider to write
down calories, total calories, total fat,
carbohydrates, protein, sugar, at least two
vitamins. Record all these information before
next Monday (Sep/19) for each food.
A Closer Look at MyPlate
MyPlate is designed to help each person develop a
personal eating plan based on how many calories
he or she needs.
calorie A unit of heat that measures the
energy available in foods
The amount of calories your body needs is based on
your age, gender, and how physically active you are.
A Closer Look at MyPlate
If you are physically active on most days,
your body needs more calories than
someone who is not physically active.
MyPlate estimates that females between
the ages of 9 and thirteen need 1,600 to
2,200 calories per day based on activity
level. Males in the same age group need
1,800 to 2,600 calories per day.
A Closer Look at MyPlate
Grains—the Orange Group:
Vegetables—the Green Group:
.
Fruits—the Red Group:
Dairy—the Blue Group:
Protein—the Purple Group:
