Qualitative and Quantitative Nutritional Needs

Qualitative: variety of foods you need on a daily basis Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, water, mineral and

vitamins

 Quantitative: amounts of different foods you need, number of grams/litres of food you should eat daily

▪ Varies on:▪ Sex▪ Height▪ Weight (mass)▪ Activity level

Used to determine the amount of nutrients you should eat daily

Energy supplied by food is measured in kilojoules (kJ) 1g of protein = 16kJ of energy (4kcal/g) 1g of carbohydrates = 16kJ of energy (4kcal/g) 1g of lipids = 36kJ of energy (9kcal/g)

 

All foods supply energy first from carbohydrates, next lipids and finally from protein

Most foods are compounds of all nutrients

Energy in Food

Calculate the energy released from each food by using this formula.

4.2 is the value of the specific heat capacity of water, in joules per gram per degree Celsius – the number of joules taken to raise the temperature of water by 1 °C.1 cm3 of water has a mass of 1 g.

If the number is more than 1000 J/g, express it as kilojoules (kJ):

1 kilojoule = 1000 joules
