Macronutrients

Micronutrients• Vitamins• Minerals• Water
BUT BEFORE WE GET TO UNDERSTAND A HEALTHY DIET…. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND NUTRIENTS
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MACRONUTRIENTS
In this activity, you will be organized into groups of three. Each group will receive a foam board with the macronutrients as HEADINGS for three different categories. There will be fifteen characteristics of macronutrients; your group must discuss were all fifteen will be categorized based on the characteristic matching the macronutrient.
Fats1.2.3.4.5.
Carbohydrates1.2.3.4.5.
Proteins1.2.3.4.5.
Fats Carbohydrates Proteins
Supplies 9 calories per gram
Supplies 4 calories per gram
Supplies 4 calories per gram
Carries vitamins A, D, E, & K
Converts into glucose; if not used turned into glycogen & stored in adipose tissue
Made of chains of building blocks known as amino acids (20 total & 9 essential)
A form of slow burning energy
55-65% of daily calories
Build new tissue during important growing parts of life
Surrounds and cushions vital organs
Body’s main source of energy
Excessive amounts are converted to be fat for storage
Two classifications (saturated & unsaturated)
Two Classifications (Simple & Complex)
Two classifications: (complete & Incomplete)
Let’s Review: Each of you have three different color note cards. Each color represents one of the macronutrients: Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrates.
Blue: Carbohydrates
Green: Protein
Yellow: Fats
I’ll ask a question; you will respond with raising the color note card that you believe is the correct answer.
