Calories
• Not only do you need to make
sure you are getting the 6
essential nutrients in your body,
you must also get enough daily
calories.
Calories
• Calories are units of heat that
measure the energy used by the
body and the energy that foods
supply to the body.
• It is all about calories into the
body and calories used by the
body.
Calories
• All foods give our bodies
calories.
• Some give more calories than
others.
• For example there are more
calories in a can of soda pop
than there is in a glass of juice.
Calories
• Our bodies use calories every
minute of everyday to keep us
going.
• Even when we are sleeping we
are using calories.
Calories
• A car burns more fuel depending
on what it is doing. More fuel is
used pulling heavier weight and
less fuel driving on the freeway.
• The human body burns more
calories depending on what it is
doing. Running a race will use
more calories than sitting and
watching TV.
Calories
• So how many calories should a
person consume per day.
• Many things factor into how the
human body burns calories.
•
•
•
•
Gender
Age
Height and Weight
Activity Level
Calorie Factors
• Gender: Because boys tend to
have a larger muscle mass
typically they will need more
calories than girls.
• For example:
• 5’4” 125 pound 14 year girl =
1861 calories per day
• 5’4” 125 pound 14 year boy =
2089 calories per day
Calorie Factors
• Age: Adolescents will burn more
calories than adults.
• For example:
• 5’4” 125 pound 14 year girl = 1861
calories per day
• 5’4” 125 pound 44 year women =
1654 calories per day
Calorie Factors
• Height and Weight: The more
the body has to move the more
calories it needs.
• For example:
• 5’4” 125 pound 14 year boy =
2089 calories per day
• 6’0” 170 pound 14 year boy =
2545 calories per day
Calorie Factors
• Activity Level: The more
physically active the more
calories need to be consumed.
• For example:
• 5’4” 125 pound 14 year girl
exercising 20 minutes a day 3 x per
week = 1861 calories per day
• 5’4” 125 pound 14 year girl
exercising everyday for an intense
workout = 2334 calories per day
Calories
• On average most teen boys
should consume about 20002500 calories per day.
• On average most teen girls
should consume about 1800 –
2000 calories per day.
Assignment #1
• With your partner explain why
these two statements are true.
• If you consume more calories
than you burn off you will gain
weight.
• If you consume less calories than
you burn off you will loss weight.
Nutrient Density
• So now you know about
nutrients and calories – you
need to know how they work
together.
• Nutrient dense foods are foods
that have a lot of nutrients
compared to their calorie count.
Nutrient Density
• Compare the can of soda to the
glass of orange juice.
• The orange juice has more
nutrients with less calories than
the soda pop.
• Therefore it is a more nutrient
dense food.
Assignment 2
• With your partner decide which of the following food comparisons items
are more nutrient dense.
Assignment #2 Continued
Assignment #2 Continued
Assignment #3
• With your partner decide why
this statement is true.
• By eating nutrient dense food,
someone can eat more foods
without having more calories.
Dietary Guidelines
• Dietary Guidelines for Americans
are a set of suggestions
developed by nutrition scientists
and public health agencies.
• The Dietary Guidelines for
Americans are designed to help
Americans get more nutrients
without extra calories.
MyPyramid
• The MyPyramid food guidance
system is a tool that shows you
what kinds of food to eat and
how much of each food you
should eat every day.
• The main groups are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Grains
Vegetables
Fruits
Milk
Meat and Beans
Oils
My Plate
Nutrition Facts Labels
• Nutrition Facts Labels: is a label
found on the outside packages
of food and states the number of
serving in the container, the
number of calories in each
serving, and the quantity of
nutrients in each serving.
• Knowing how to read the
information will help you to
make health food choices.
Health Class
Weekly Reminders
• All extra credit and late/absent work
is due TODAY
Class Objectives
• Identify factors of how the body uses
calories
• Describe how calories work
• Evaluate food labels for nutritional content
Getting Started
• Take out your “Food Labels” notes
from Monday
Food Labels
• The first thing you need look for on
the nutrition label is the serving size.
• The serving tells you how much equals
a serving
• The next lines tells you how many
servings are in a package.
• You need to make sure you
watch how many servings are
in each container.
• Notice that in a 1 liter bottle of
Pepsi there are 2.5 servings
per container.
• If you drank the whole bottle
you would need to multiply all
the numbers listed by 2.5.
Food Labels
• Manufactures know that they
can get you to buy their
products just by what the label
says.
• Look at the next label and notice
how the it is currently labeled
and how the government wants
the new labels to be listed.
Food Labels
• The next thing to look at is the
calories.
• Notice that the calories for the
product to the right is listed at 150
calories for serving.
• This means that for every 12 chips of
this product will contain 150 calories.
• Notice that out of the 150 calories, 70
calories are from fat.
• Almost half the calories are fat
calories.
Food Labels
• Next look at the total fats.
• This line tells you the daily value
percent and the type of fat.
• Remember saturated fat is considered
to be more harmful than unsaturated.
• And Trans fat are very damaging to
the body.
Food Labels
• You should also look at
carbohydrates.
• Remember that carbohydrates
are broken down into glucose.
• Any carbs that are not burned
off are stored as fat.
• Notice that this yogurt has the same amount of Carbohydrates as the a
snickers bar.
• Look at how much of a difference just in carbohydrates found in different
types of yogurts.
GoGort
13 grams
Yoplait Light
16 grams
Greek Yogurt
7 grams
Yoplait
33 grams
Food Labels
• Notice the fiber and sugar listed under
carbohydrates.
• You want more fiber than sugar in
anything you eat.
• Less than 5g is considered low for
fiber.
• Remember that fiber makes you feel
full longer and helps with digestion.
