Produce an information sheet on protein in the diet.

Include two main course recipes that demonstrate:

a) protein complementation

b) use of an alternative protein.

Use a nutrition programme to work out how much protein is contained in each recipe.

Include this with the recipe.

Explain the benefi ts of using alternative proteins in the diet.

LBV proteins do not contain all the essential amino acids we need but if you eat a mixture of them the missing essential amino acids in one may be provided by one of the others. This is called protein complementation. Study the foods below, identify the LBV proteins and then make suggestions for three meals that would combine two or more of them in the same dish.

Many food products contain fat that is invisible to our eyes. This can lead to people eating more fat than they realise, if they regularly choose to eat foods such as these.

On the chart below are pictures of 14 different food products, each of which contains invisible fat.

Look at each product. Using your knowledge of recipes and cooking methods, rank the foods in order of the amount of invisible fat you think they contain.

For example, if you think the quiche lorraine has the highest amount of invisible fat, place a number 1 underneath it and so on, with number 14 being the food you think contains the lowest amount of invisible fat.

What do minerals do? Match each mineral function from the list below to the correct mineral in the table. The number of functions for each mineral is given in the brackets.

Mineral Function in the body

Calcium (3)

Iron (1)

Sodium (3)

Fluoride (1)

Iodine (1)

Phosphorus (4)

• Makes bones and teeth strong

• Makes special fat molecules called phospholipids in body cell membranes, especially in the brain and nervous system

• Controls the amount of water in the body

• Makes haemoglobin in red blood cells to carry oxygen to all body cells

• Makes the nerves and muscles work properly

• Helps the body to use energy from food

• Strengthens the bones and the enamel in the teeth and helps prevent tooth decay

• Helps to control muscles and nerves

• Produces the hormone thyroxin, which controls the metabolic rate of the body

• Helps the body release energy from food

• Essential for chemical reactions in the body

• Helps the blood to clot when the body is injured

• With calcium it makes the bones and teeth strong

Now match each mineral with the effect of its defi ciency in the human body.

Mineral Defi ciency in the body

• Rickets in children

• Osteomalacia in adults

• Muscles and nerves don’t work properly

• Blood will not clot properly over a wound after an injury

• Anaemia

• Tiredness, weakness, weak nails, lack of energy

• Muscle cramps

• Weak tooth enamel

• More chance of tooth decay

• Swelling in neck – goitre

• Mental handicap (cretinism) in new-born babies

• A defi ciency is rare

4 This is likely to happen to the teeth if you don’t have enough fl uoride

6 You lose sodium in this when you are hot

7 It takes unborn babies this amount of time to build up a store of iron in their bodies

8 Calcium is needed to make these work properly in the body

9 This mineral is needed to make a substance in red blood cells

11 This is the name of the substance in red blood cells for which iron is needed

14 This is the name of the hormone that iodine helps you make

16 This is the name of the health condition you get if you do not have enough iron

17 This mineral is needed to strengthen the teeth

20 You need this in order to absorb iron in the body

21 These are special fat molecules found in cell membranes for which you need phosphorus

23 You need to do plenty of this to help calcium to be laid down in your bones and teeth

24 You would get this pain in your arms and legs if you did not have enough sodium in your body

26 If you do not have enough calcium, this will happen to your bones and teeth

27 This mineral will be lost if you have sickness and diarrhoea

28 This is a very important time of life for laying down minerals in your bones and teeth

29 If you do not have enough iron you will not have much of this

You have volunteered to help with the First Aid team at an athletics meeting on a hot summer’s day. An athlete is brought to the tent suffering from a list of symptoms. Study the symptoms below and explain why each of them is a sign of dehydration.

The athlete has a bad headache.

She feels weak and sick.

She is very hot and can’t cool down.

Her skin looks wrinkled.

She is obviously feeling dazed and confused.

Your friend in the First Aid tent agrees with you that the athlete is dangerously dehydrated and suggests that she drinks two large bottles of water immediately.

You disagree with this suggestion. Why?
