Food Categories• Macronutrient
• Direct sources of energy• Carbohydrates, proteins and fats
• Micronutrients• Bioenergetic process do not provide
energy themselves but help process along• Vitamins and minerals

Protein
• Body breaks protein into amino acids• 1 gram of protein = 4 calories of energy

• Average adult = 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight
• Average athlete = 1.2 to 1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight depending on sport and intensity

• We need 20 essential amino acids • Body can produce 11• 9 must be supplied by food
• Complete protein = food that has all 20 amino acids– Eg. Meat, eggs, cheese and milk
• Incomplete protein = lacking 1 or more of amino acids (limited amounts)– Eg. Some grains, legumes, nuts,

• Secondary energy source• Glycogen stored energy in muscles & retains water• High intensity sports
• Essential to build and repair muscle tissue• Allows muscles to contract, gain in size, and increase
in strength• Loading up on protein does not guarantee larger
muscles in excess stored as fat

Carbohydrates
• Most accessible energy source for the body• 1 gram of carbs = 4 calories of energy• 55-60% of daily caloric intake
![Page 10: Nutrition. Food Categories Macronutrient Direct sources of energy Carbohydrates, proteins and fats Micronutrients Bioenergetic process do not provide](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649cd75503460f9499fa54/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Complex carbohydrates– Starches grains, potatoes– Takes longer to digest in body– Provides more energy over a sustained period
of time– Eg. Cereals, vegetables, legumes and pasta
• Simple carbohydrates– Simple sugars – Quick energy sources– Easy to digest– Eg. Fruit, juices
![Page 11: Nutrition. Food Categories Macronutrient Direct sources of energy Carbohydrates, proteins and fats Micronutrients Bioenergetic process do not provide](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649cd75503460f9499fa54/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Glycemic Index– Rate of carbohydrate digestion and its effects on
blood glucose levels– Used for people with diabetes
– Ranks carbohydrates from 0-100– High: sugar and honey– Moderate: whole-grained breads, rice, bran and peas– Low: fruits, beans andlentils
– High glycemic diet obesity

• Carbohydrate is stored as glycogen in body
• When muscles run out of glycogen, fatigue sets and performance suffers
• Vary among different sports• Amount of glycogen stored affects
stamina and endurance• Important for endurance athletes
Increase and maintain glycogen stores

Fats• Provide energy, insulate and protect vital parts of the
body• Key sources: milk, butter, meat and oils
• 1 gram of fat = 9 calories of energy• 25-30% of daily caloric intake

• Saturated fats = “bad fats”– Animal sources– ↑concentration of low-density
lipoprotein (LDL)– Excess raises cholesterol
• build up in artery walls• heart diseases
• Unsaturated fats– Plant sources– ↑ concentration of high-density
lipoprotein (HDL)

– Helps restore and hydrate muscles after they have been exhausted
– Natural source of protein and carbohydrate not found in sports drink (water not enough)
– Contains calcium, vitamin A and D to help strengthen bones and build muscles
