Objective: Understand carbohydrates and what foods they are found in. Warm up: 1. What is your favorite source of carbs? CARBOHYDRATES CARBOHYDRATES The main function of carbohydrates is to provide energy. Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram CARBOHYDRATES 45-65% of our food should come from carbohydrates. Carbs Protein Fats CARBOHYDRATES If we eat more carbohydrates than are needed for energy, the extra is stored in the liver or in the tissues as fat. The 2 types of Carbohydrates a) SIMPLE CARBS = Natural & Refined SUGARS a) COMPLEX CARBS = STARCHES Complex starches will BREAK DOWN into simple sugars. Simple Carbohydrates Simple carbohydrates are quick energy sources. They come from sugar. They do not usually supply any other nutrients or fiber. Examples of Simple Carbohydrates 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Soft Drinks Cookies Jam Honey Syrup Sugar Candy Complex Carbohydrates Complex carbohydrates break down into simple sugars in the digestion process. This process is what gives us longer lasting energy Complex Carbohydrates Complex carbohydrates come from starchy foods such as whole grains, flour, seeds, nuts, vegetables and fruits. Examples of Complex Carbohyrates 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Rice Pasta Oatmeal Breads Potatoes and Corn Some Cereals 3. Fiber is also a carbohydrate. It is found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Some carbohydrates come from fruits and vegetables It is recommended that you make half your plate fruits and vegetables Most carbohydrates fall under the grain group It is recommended that you make half your grains whole grains Grain Facts A. The edible seeds of certain grasses are called GRAINS. B. Grains are a STAPLE FOOD because of their good quality, high energy, and low cost. C. When grains are milled the many of the nutrients are lost. D. Enriched grain products have had the vitamins and minerals replaced.

Found in fruits, veggies, grains Sucrose or table sugar is made from sugar beets or sugar cane. Fructose is sugar found in fruit, honey and vegetables. Maltose is grain starch broken down into sugar. Lactose is milk sugar. How do you know if a food has added sugar? Check out the Food Label: Total Carbohydrate (g): Dietary Fiber, Sugars, Other Carbohydrates (Comp List of ingredients: sugar, juice, molasses, honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, malted corn sweetener, maltose, fructose, lactose, glucose, dextrose, etc. Obesity in a bottle Create a poster about the amounts of sugar in different drinks. You need to represent 6 drinks on your poster. Measure out the correct amount of sugar and make your own “sugar packets” Cut out the pictures and food labels of the drinks you chose and glue them on the poster.
