The substances in food that promote normal
growth, maintenance and repair in your body
are called nutrients.
Practicing good nutrition means eating foods
that are good for you and eating them in the
right amounts. Eating too little food can lead to
low energy, weight loss, and poor growth.
Eating too much can also cause poor health. It
can cause you to become overweight, which in
turn can lead to many more severe diseases.
Carbohydrates,
proteins, and fats give
your body energy.

calories.

blood pressure
The percent daily value on a food label tells you
how this food can help someone meet these
daily goals.
On food labels, they base the percentages on a
2,000-calorie adult diet. So looking at the label
to the left for two crackers, a grownup would
see that they provide less than 1 gram of fiber,
only 3% of the person's daily needs. So that
means he or she would have to eat other foods
to get 100% of the fiber needed each day.
Similarly, the person would see that the
crackers provide nothing toward the daily goals
for vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, or iron.
