What is a Nutrient?A nutrient is a substance that is

required to carry out life processes. For example, your body turns some

nutrients into energy for your body to use and other nutrients are used to

repair the body.

Simple Sugars

Much easier for your body to digest (break down) and a healthier choice.

together.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are instantly turned into energy for our body to use immediately. Think of how a car needs gas to go, we

need carbs to "go".

What happens if you eat more carbs (energy) than our body can use up?

Click here to find the Click here to find the answeranswer

Too many carbs

If we eat too many carbs, our body will store the extra energy for later use. It would be

like adding more gas tanks to a car. Where are the extra gas tanks put? On top of the car? In the back seat? What

about humans; where does the extra energy get stored? Around our belly, our hips, etc. We want to limit the amount of energy we put in our body so we don't get

too many spare gas tanks!

Learn about Learn about proteins and fatsproteins and fats

Proteins!Our body uses proteins to build and rebuild

tissues. A teenager who seems like they are growing an inch every night is using

proteins to build new bone, skin, and muscle in order to grow. A person who lifts weights is constantly breaking down their

muscle tissue and their body is using proteins to rebuild those muscles stronger and larger. Proteins have the most jobs in

the whole body! Learn Learn about about

carbs and carbs and fats!fats!

FatsDoes our body need

fat?

YesYes NoNo

Opps, actually your body does need fat! Here's how!

Our body is made up of trillions of cells and each one of those cells are surrounded by a membrane and in that membrane are fats. This is one essential way our body uses fats. We also use fats as long term energy storage. If our body needs energy and we don't have any carbs to burn, our body can turn fat into energy. This is hard for our body to do so it doesn't do it all the time. Learn about Learn about

Where Can Nutrients be Found?

Every piece of food that we put in our mouths is made from one or more of the

three different nutrients.

CarbohydratesCarbohydrates are found in bread, pasta, cereal, rice, and potatoes. These are the most obvious places carbs are found in. What about foods you wouldn't normally

many other foods including eggs, milk, beans, peanut butter, and

also cheese.



That's Right!Meat is not the only food that contains

protein! Eggs, milk, beans, peanut butter, and cheese all contain good amounts of

protein too!



Fats

Do we need fat in our diet?

YesYes NoNo

YES WE DO!

Very good!!Here are some

places we find fat.

Vegetable oil, canola oil, olive oil, butter,

peanut butter, grizzle from meat,

most nuts, avocado, and

margarine are all sources of fat.
