Nutritional Requirements:
Components of a Healthy Diet

Essential nutrients: those we must get
from food
◦ Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins,
minerals and water
 Macronutrients
 Micronutrients
◦ These nutrients are available to the body
through digestion
◦ An adequate diet must provide nutrients and
energy

2
Energy

Kilocalories (kcal) are the measure of
energy in food
◦ 2000 kcal per day typically meets a person’s
energy needs
◦ Energy is the capacity to do work; calories
measure energy
◦ Sources of energy:
 Fat = 9 calories per gram
 Protein = 4 calories per gram
 Carbohydrates = 4 calories per gram

4
Proteins—
The Basis of Body Structure (1)

Proteins form parts of muscle, bone, blood,
enzymes, hormones, and cell membranes
◦ Amino acids: the building blocks of proteins
 There are 20 common amino acids
 9 are essential
 11 are nonessential—meaning the body can
produce them

5
Proteins—
The Basis of Body Structure (2)

Complete proteins provide all essential
amino acids
◦ Most animal proteins are complete proteins
◦ Most plant proteins are incomplete proteins
 Legumes, nuts
 Certain combinations yield complete proteins

Recommended protein intake:
◦ 0.8 gram per kilogram of body weight
◦ AMDR: 10–35% of total daily calorie intake

6
Fats—
Essential in Small Amounts (1)

Fats (lipids) are the most concentrated
source of energy
◦ Store energy; provide insulation and support
 Major fuel during rest and light activity
◦ Linoleic acid (plants;omega-6) and alphalinolenic acid (meat and dairy;omega-3) are
essential

Triglycerides: most fats in foods
◦ Types: saturated or unsaturated;
monounsaturated; polyunsaturated

7
Fats—
Essential in Small Amounts (2)

Hydrogenation and trans fats
◦ Hydrogenation changes some unsaturated
fatty acids in trans fatty acids
 Associated with increased LDL-C (“bad”
cholesterol) and decreased HDL-C (“good”
cholesterol)

Recommended fat intake
◦ Limit unhealthy fats
◦ AMDR for fats is 25–35% of total daily
calories

8
Types of Fatty Acids (1)

Saturated (basic fat)
◦ Animal fats (especially fatty meats and poultry fat and skin)
◦ Butter, cheese, and other high-fat dairy products
◦ Palm and coconut oils

Trans (add hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils)
◦ Some frozen pizza
◦ Some types of popcorn
◦ Deep-fried fast foods
◦ Stick margarines, shortening
◦ Packaged cookies and crackers
◦ Processed snacks and sweets

Monounsaturated (good and natural fats)
◦ Olive, canola, and safflower oils
◦ Avocados, olives
◦ Peanut butter (without added fat)
◦ Many nuts, including almonds, cashews, pecans, and pistachios

Types of Fatty Acids (2)

Polyunsaturated—Omega-3†
◦ Fatty fish, including salmon, white albacore tuna, mackerel, anchovies,
and sardines
◦ Compared to fish, lesser amounts are found in walnut, flaxseed, canola,
and soybean oils; tofu; walnuts; flaxseeds; and dark green leafy
vegetables

Polyunsaturated—Omega-6 †
◦ Corn, soybean, and cottonseed oils (often used in margarine,
mayonnaise, and salad dressings)

NOTE: Food fats contain a combination of types of fatty acids in various
proportions. For example, canola oil is composed mainly of monounsaturated
fatty acids (62%) but also contains polyunsaturated (32%) and saturated
(6%) fatty acids.

The essential fatty acids are polyunsaturated: linoleic acid is an omega-6
fatty acid and alpha-linolenic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid.

10
Carbohydrates—
An Ideal Source of Energy (1)

Carbohydrates supply energy for body cells
◦ Simple carbohydrates
 Monosaccharides: single sugar molecule
 Glucose, fructose, galactose
 Disaccharides: pairs of single sugars
 Sucrose, maltose or malt sugar, and lactose
◦ Complex carbohydrates: multiple sugar units
 Starches and fiber
◦ During digestion, carbohydrates are broken
down into glucose for absorption
 Glycogen: starch stored in liver and muscles

11
Carbohydrates—
An Ideal Source of Energy (2)

Refined carbohydrates versus whole grains
◦ All grains are whole before processing
 Inner layer: germ
 Middle layer: endosperm
 Outer layer: bran
◦ During processing, the germ and bran are
removed, leaving just the starch of the
endosperm
◦ These refined carbohydrates are lower in
fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial
compounds

12
Carbohydrates—
An Ideal Source of Energy (3)

Glycemic index:
◦ Indicates type of carbohydrate in food
◦ A quick rise in glucose and insulin levels
produces a high glycemic index
◦ Difficult to base food choices on glycemic
index
 Choose variety of vegetables
 Limit foods high in added sugars
Copyright © 2016 McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved.
No reproduction or distribution without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.
13
Carbohydrates—
An Ideal Source of Energy (4)

Recommended carbohydrate intake:
◦ The average American consumes 200–300
grams daily
 130 grams are needed to meet the body’s
requirements for essential carbohydrates
 AMDR: 45–65% of total daily calories, or
225–325 grams
◦ The USDA recommends that total calories
from added sugars and saturated fats
combined be no more than 5–15% of total
daily caloric intake

14
Fiber—A Closer Look (1)

Types of fiber:
◦ Dietary fiber: nondigestible carbohydrate that
is present naturally
 Soluble (viscous) fiber
 Insoluble fiber
◦ Functional fiber: nondigestible carbohydrate
that has been isolated or synthesized
◦ Total fiber is the sum of both

15
Fiber—A Closer Look (2)

Sources of fiber:
◦ All plant substances

Recommended fiber intake:
◦ 38 grams for adult men
◦ 25 grams for adult women
◦ Needs to come from foods, not supplements

16
Vitamins—
Organic Micronutrients (1)

Vitamins are organic (carbon-containing)
substances required in small amounts to
regulate various processes in cells
◦ Thirteen vitamins:
 4 fat-soluble: A, D, E, and K
 9 water-soluble: C, and the B-complex vitamins
thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate,
vitamin B-12, biotin, and pantothenic acid

17
Vitamins—
Organic Micronutrients (2)

Functions of vitamins:
◦ Help chemical reactions take place; help
unleash energy; produce red blood cells;
maintain nervous, skeletal, and immune
systems; and act as antioxidants

Sources of vitamins:
◦ The human body does not manufacture most
vitamins
◦ Abundant in fruits, vegetables, and grains

19
Minerals—
Inorganic Micronutrients

Help to regulate body functions and release
energy, aid in growth, and maintain body
tissues
◦ About 17 essential minerals
◦ Major minerals: 100 milligrams or more/day
 Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium,
potassium, and chloride
◦ Trace minerals: minute amounts
 Copper, fluoride, iodide, iron, selenium, zinc
◦ Issues may arise if too many or too few
 Anemia; osteoporosis

Water—Vital but Often Ignored
The human body is 50–60% water
 Humans can live up to 50 days without food
but only a few days without water

◦ It is used in digestion and the absorption of
food and is the medium in which chemical
reactions take place
◦ To maintain hydration, daily:
 Men: 3.7 total liters of water, with 3.0 liters
(13 cups) coming from beverages
 Women: 2.7 total liters of water, with 2.2
(9 cups) coming from beverages

◦ Reduction in cancers
(free radicals)
◦ Vitamins C and E,
selenium, carotenoids

Phytochemicals
◦ Soy foods may help lower cholesterol levels
◦ Cruciferous vegetables render some
carcinogenic compounds harmless
◦ Allyl sulfides (garlic and onions) boost

Food Allergies and Food
Intolerances

Food allergies:
◦ These are a reaction of the body’s immune
system to a food ingredient
◦ 90% of food allergies are due to 8 foods:

wheat, fish, and shellfish

Food intolerances:
◦ This problem usually lies with metabolism
rather than with the immune system
