NutritionUnit
9.NPA.2 Create strategies to consume a variety of nutrient dense foods and beverages in moderation
9.NPA.2.2 Recall the number of servings recommended from each food group and the need for balanced nutrition
Essential QuestionsRecall the number of servings recommended
from each food group and the need for balanced nutrition
State the number of servings for fruits, vegetables, meat & beans, grains, and dairy based on a 2,000 calorie diet
Evaluate your daily eating patterns. Do they match up with the recommendations? What is one thing you can do to make sure you are getting a well balanced diet?
What are Calories?A calorie is a way to measure how much energy
a food provides to your body
The body needs energy (calories) to do anything
How much depends on many factors including what you do during a day sleep all day, exercise
The average adult male needs between 2,000 and 3,000 calories a day.
If he eats this amount of energy a day he would neither gain nor lose weight.
Water
Makes up about 60% of your body weight
Carries nutrients to tissues
Carries away waste
Cools the body
Supply most of the energy that enables the body to do work
1 gram = 4 calories
Foods high in carbohydratesanything made with flour or sugargrainsfoods with added sugarstarchy vegetables (potatoes and corn)
ProteinSupply energy and building material for muscle, hair,
and skin
1 gram = 4 calories
Foods high in protein Milk Eggs Cheese Peanut butter Lean meats Fish Beans Nuts & seeds
FatsEssential for the proper functioning of the body
Very concentrated energy made of glycerol and fatty acids
Healthy skin and hair are maintained by fat
Helps the body absorb and move the vitamins A, D, E, and K through the bloodstream
Fat provides 9 calories per gram
MineralsMaintain body structures and fluids necessary
for growth
Helps form bones and teeth
Helps your body make hormones and regulate your heartbeat
Examples:Calcium (milk)Potassium (bananas) Iron (red meat & seafood)
VitaminsControl chemical processes that turn food into
energy and body tissue
Vitamin A (sweet potatoes)Promotes healthy skin & bone development
Vitamin D (salmon & tuna fish)Helps the body use calcium
Vitamin C (citrus fruits)Protects against infection
My PlateBalancing Calories

Foods to Increase Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. Make at least half your grains whole grains. Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
Foods to Reduce Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen
meals - and choose the foods with lower numbers. Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

Food Group FoldableWe will now be making a Food Group Foldable
Fold a piece of paper in half
Divide your paper into 5 sections, making a cut for each tab
Label each tab FRUITS GRAINS DAIRY PROTEIN VEGETABLES
ActivityWe will be completing each tab together
Be sure to write important information on the RIGHT side of your tab
After we go through all of the food groups you will look back through your guided notes to find some more information
On the left side you will write the recommended serving size, list a few examples, and draw a picture of an example
Vegetables The vegetable portion of MyPlate is shown in green.
It's one of the largest sections on the plate.
That's because vegetables provide many of the vitamins and minerals we need for good health.
Veggies are naturally low in calories, and the fiber in them helps us feel full.
Choosing variety is important when it comes to vegetables: Dark green vegetables
Like broccoli, spinach, and kale Provide different nutrients from orange and red
vegetables Like squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes
FruitsLike veggies, fruits contain vitamins,
minerals, and fiber.
The red section of MyPlate is slightly smaller than the green, but together fruits and veggies should fill half your plate.
Whole fruit is the best choiceFruit juices have more calories per serving
than whole fruit, and you're not getting the fiber.
As with veggies, it's good to mix up your fruit choices
GrainsThe orange section on the MyPlate graphic
shows the proportion of grains you should eat.
Whole grains (like whole-wheat flour) are more nutritious and have lots of dietary fiber that can help you feel fuller longer.
Refined grains (white flour) have been processed, removing vitamins, mineral, and fiber. Most refined grains are enriched, which means
that some of the nutrients, but not fiber, are added back after processing.
Try to choose at least half of your day's grains from whole-grain sources like whole-wheat bread, brown rice, or oatmeal.
Proteins Foods that are high in protein help the body build,
maintain, and repair tissue.
They also have nutrients like B vitamins and iron.
The purple section on the MyPlate graphic shows the proportion of protein you need.
Foods high in protein include beef, poultry, seafood, dry beans and peas, eggs, nuts, and seeds.
Tofu and veggie burgers or vegetarian meat substitutes are also good sources of protein.
When eating meats, choose lean or low-fat options and try to minimize deli meats and other processed meats that are high in sodium.
Dairy The blue circle on the MyPlate graphic represents
dairy products that are rich in calcium, like milk, yogurt, and cheese.
Calcium-fortified soy milk is also included in the dairy group.
Calcium is essential for growth and building strong bones and teeth.
Choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products most of the time.
The blue circle shows dairy as a "side" to your meal, like a glass of milk.
But dairy can be incorporated in your meal, like a cheese quesadilla, or served as a snack, like a yogurt.
