Nutrition Basics
Nutritional Requirements:
Components of A Healthy Diet




empty calories-food that supplies food energy but little or no other
nutrition--------cokes,cookies,cake
beer, margarine, corn syrup,ice cream
Essential nutrients
 Proteins, Fats, Carbohydrates, Vitamins, Minerals and Water.
Fuel Potential=energy=Kilocalories (kcalorie).
 1 Kcalorie (Kcal)= nutritional calorie= amount of heat it takes
to raise the temperature of 1 liter of fluid 1 degree of
centigrade----or 1 pound of water another 4 deg F.
 1 calorie (cal)=scientific calorie= amount of heat to raise one
gram of water 1 deg C.
 2000 kcalorie or calories per day meets a person needs.
 1000 calories = 1 kcalorie.
 3 things supply energy
 Fat = 9 calories per gram
 Protein = 4 calories per gram
 Carbohydrates = 4 calories per gram

Proteins

Forms muscle, bone, blood, enzymes,
hormones and cell membrane.


Twenty(or 22) common amino acids
amino acid has COOH at one end, then NH2, and
a side chain gives amino acid name.



Nine essential amino acids(must get from diet)
Eleven nonessential amino acids
Complete proteins provide all essential amino
acids.







mg/dL and above is considered protective against heart
disease.

BASAL
METABOLIC
RATE
calories released per kilogram of body weight or per square
meter of body surface per hour.

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy
expended while at rest in a neutrally temperate
environment, in the post-absorptive state (meaning
that the digestive system is inactive, which requires
about twelve hours of fasting).The release of energy
in this state is sufficient only for the functioning of the
vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, brain and the
rest of the nervous system, liver, kidneys, sex
organs, muscles and skin. BMR decreases with age
and with the loss of lean body mass. Increasing
muscle mass increases BMR.
Chapter Twelve
29
BMR formula



Men: BMR=66.47+ (13.75 x W) + (5.0 x
H) - (6.75 x A)
Women: BMR=665.09 + (9.56 x W) +
(1.84 x H) - (4.67 x A)
