PROTEIN
A nutrient found in all living things. It contains nitrogen and is responsible for the formation, maintenance, and repair of the body’s tissues/ It can also be used for energy. CHNO
AMINO ACIDS
A molecule that combines with other amino acid molecules to make proteins
20 different amino acids are found in protein foods
Amino acids chain together to form 1000s of different proteins
ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID
Your body makes 11, other 9 come from food.The 9 amino acid you need and your body cannot
make, are ESSENTIAL amino acids
Basically, it is essential that you eat food with this acid so you can treat your body healthy!
OUR INES! Just like proteins!PhenylalanineValineThreonineTryptophanIsoleucineMethionineHistidineLeucineLysine
COMPLETE PROTEINS Using the knowledge of needing to eat to get
essential amino acids, there are certain foods that you get the most bang for your buck!
COMPLETE proteins have all 9 essential amino acids
MEAT POULTRY FISH EGGS MILK SOY Gelatin is the only animal protein that is not
considered a complete protein.
INCOMPLETE PROTEINS A food that lacks one or more essential
amino acids
Most plant foods are incomplete proteins when they stand alone
To be healthy, you combine a few and create a complete protein
Legumes + rice/corn/nuts= a complete protein
(can have combinations at different meals and still get the same, healthy results)
FOODS SUCH AS BEANS, LENTILS, AND PEANUTS ARE KNOWN AS LEGUMES. BASICALLY, A LEGUME IS ANYTHING THAT DEVELOPS SEEDS INSIDE A POD
CREATE A COMPLETE PROTEIN=
GRAINS WITH LEGUMES - SAMPLE MEAL: LENTILS AND RICE WITH YELLOW PEPPERS.
NUTS WITH LEGUMES - SAMPLE MEAL: BLACK BEAN AND PEANUT SALAD.
GRAINS WITH DAIRY - SAMPLE MEAL: WHITE CHEDDAR AND WHOLE WHEAT PASTA.
DAIRY WITH SEEDS - SAMPLE MEAL: YOGURT MIXED WITH SESAME AND FLAX SEEDS.
LEGUMES WITH SEEDS - SAMPLE MEAL: SPINACH SALAD WITH SESAME SEED AND ALMOND SALAD DRESSING
MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS OF PROTEIN Growth and maintenance Enzymes Hormones Antibodies Fluid Balance
GROWTH AND MAINTENANCE
PROTEINS ARE CONSTANTLY BROKEN DOWN AND REPLACED
CELLS IN YOUR INTESTINAL TRACT ARE REPLACED EVERY FEW DAYS
YOU NEED A CONTINOUS(UNINTERRUPED) SUPPLY OF PROTEIN TO GROW AND REPAIR
ENZYMES Chemical reactions that take place in every cell in your body which is made possible by these special proteins
HORMONES Chemical messengers that help regulate
the body
Some are made from amino acids Insulin= helps maintain the level of glucose
in your bloodThyroid hormones = regulates metabolism
ANTIBODIES Proteins play a role in the immune
system in the form of antibodies
They are proteins that fight disease If you get the flu, your body makes
antibodies to fight it!
FLUID BALANCE Proteins inside cells and in the
bloodstream help cells to maintain the right amount of fluid
HOW MUCH DO I NEED? 10 to 30 percent of your calories should
come from proteins
Take your daily calorie requirement ______??????___________
How many calories should come from protein:Find your percentage(10)
Daily calories (2800) X .10 = 280 calories each day
Protein has four calories per gram, so divide these number by four to determine the number of grams needed
EXCESS PROTEIN If you eat too much, it can harm you! Too much is hard on the digestive
system
Excess protein is broken down and stored by the body as fat, which an lead to weight gain
Most healthy people do not need supplements with protein or amino acids, because they choose a variety of foods
INADEQUATE PROTEIN Protein-energy malnutrition PEM occurs
when a person dos not get enough calories and protein
One of the most common forms of malnutrition in the world!
Drug addictions and eating disorders can also lead to this
VEGETARIANS HAVE LONG ARGUED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE, WITH CAREFUL PLANNING, TO MEET DAILY PROTEIN REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT CONSUMING ANIMAL SOURCES.
Vegetarians fall into the following groups: Vegans: consume foods only from plant
sources Lacto-vegetarians: eat foods from plant
sources and dairy products Ovo-vegetarians: eat foods from plant
sources and eggs Lacto-ovo vegetarians: eat foods from
plant sources, dairy products, and eggs Semi-vegetarians: eat no red meat, but
eat poultry and seafood
PLANTS AND PROTEIN BENEFITS: By eating more protein from plant sources,
you intake less fat and have more fiber than from animal sources
DRAWBACK: May not get all of the essential amino acids. Must eat a variety of plant based proteins in order to do so. They also need to take special care to ensure adequate consumption of certain vitamins and minerals that are not supplied by a diet rich in plant sources. These nutrients include: zinc, calcium, iron, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12.
Meatless dishes with complete proteins include rice and beans, a peanut butter sandwich, hummus on pita bread
Soybeans, quinoa, and buck wheat have complete proteins
Tofu, and soy milk add during preparation
HEALTH BENEFITS Most vegetarians enjoy health benefits
from eating a diet that is generally high in fiber and low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Vegetarianism doesn’t guarantee proper nutrition. Just as every other population, vegetarians need to be mindful of fat intake and calorie intake. They also need to take special care to ensure adequate consumption of certain vitamins and minerals that are not supplied by a diet rich in plant sources. These nutrients include: zinc, calcium, iron, Vitamin D, and Vitamin B12.
