MyPyramid Anatomy• ACTIVITY
–Activity is represented by the steps and the person climbing them, as a reminder of the importance of daily physical activity
• PERSONALIZATION–Personalization is shown by the person on the steps, the slogan, and the URL. Find the kinds and amounts of food to eat each day at MyPyramid.gov
![Page 11: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
•MODERATION
–represented by the narrowing of each food group from bottom to top. The wider the base stands for foods with little or no solid fats or added sugars. These should be selected more often. The narrower top area stands for foods containing more added sugars and solid fats. The more active you are, the more of these foods can fit into your diet.
![Page 12: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
•PROPORTIONALITY–Proportionality is shown by the different widths of the food group bands. The widths suggest how much food a person should choose from each group. The widths are just a general guide, not exact proportions. Check the website for how much is right for you.

NutrientsWhat are nutrients?
•Essential substances that your body needs in order to grow and stay healthy
•Six categories of nutrients:
•Carbohydrates•Proteins•Minerals•Vitamins•Fats •Water
![Page 17: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
•Structure and function: Carbohydrates are sugars and starches that the body
uses for ENERGY!•PLANTS are the major
source of carbohydrates in the food we eat.

Simple Carbohydrates•Sugars that are quickly digested and provide a BOOST of energy for the body
•Foods with LOTS of sugar: oranges, milk, cookies, candy
![Page 19: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Starches that are composed of many sugars linked together
•They provide the body with long-term energy since they are digested more slowly than sugars.
•Foods with •LOTS of starch:
rice, beans, potatoes
Complex Carbohydrates
![Page 20: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Protein•Structure: Proteins are made from many amino acids connected together in different arrangements.
•Function: Provide the building materials your body needs to grow and repair itself
![Page 21: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Essential Amino Acids•9 of the 20 amino acids
are called essential amino acids because you must obtain them from the foods you eat since your body cannot make them.
![Page 22: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Examples: fish, meat, eggs, milk, cheese
Incomplete proteins: • Foods that are missing some essential amino acids
Examples: Legumes, nuts, whole grains
![Page 23: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

(more than carbs and proteins)• Help protect and cushion vital
organs as well as joints • Insulate the body
Fat
![Page 24: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
FatStructure: •Fats belong to a group of organic compounds called lipids which are substances that do not dissolve in water.
•Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats.
![Page 25: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Unsaturated fats: • Contain fatty acids
that are missing hydrogen atoms
• At room temperature, they are typically in liquid form.
•They are less harmful to the circulatory system than saturated fats.
•Foods with a lot of unsaturated fat: canola, safflower, and peanut oils
![Page 26: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Saturated fats: •Contain fatty acids with the
MAXIMUM amount of hydrogen atoms
•At room temperature, they are typically in solid form.
![Page 27: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
•Diets with TOO MUCH saturated fat have been known to cause heart disease.
•Foods with a lot of saturated fat: beef fat, egg yolks, dairy products
![Page 28: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What is a calorie?•The energy
obtained from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats is measured in units called calories.
Calories
![Page 29: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Calorie Calculations•Carbohydrates 1g = 4 calories
•Protein 1g = 4 calories
•Fat1g = 9 calories
•Alcohol 1g = 7 calories
![Page 30: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Sample Calculation
•A slice of bread has 9g of carbohydrates, 2g of protein, and 1g of fat.
•Get out a piece of paper and see if you can do the calculations…..
![Page 31: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
•9 grams carbohydrates x 4 calories/gram
= 36 calories+ 2 grams protein x 4 calories/gram = 8 calories+ 1 gram fat x 9 calories/gram
= 9 calories_________________________
Total calories = 53

Making Good Food Choices• The US federal
government created a food pyramid which is a guide to healthy living.
• It gives recommendations for: –Eating healthy–Regular exercise
![Page 50: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Fast Food Choices•Fast food consumption should
be limited since it generally includes foods that are high in calories, fat, and/or sodium.
•Try to choose smaller portions since larger portion sizes greatly increase the calorie, fat, and sodium content of your meal.
![Page 51: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Reading Food Labels•To help you make healthy food
choices, many foods have a “Nutrition Facts” label that contains helpful information such as:
•serving size•calories per serving•fat/sodium/protein content•types and relative amounts of nutrients (vitamin C, iron, etc.)
![Page 72: nutrition](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070516/58753e7f1a28abb8208b471d/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Reading Food LabelsWhat do claims on food labels
mean?•Organic - Made from foods grown
without pesticides, man-made fertilizers, or genetic engineering
•Healthy - Low in fat and saturated fat, contains no more than 360mg of sodium and cholesterol per serving
