lecture 5 energy, food labels and energy needs during lifetime, nutrition
TRANSCRIPT
What is energy?Energy is another word for "calories.“
You burn a certain number of calories just by breathing and digesting. A big person burns more calories every day than a small person. You also burn a certain number of calories through your daily routine
It is important to understand that people with physically active lifestyles burn more calories than those with sedentary or not-as-active lifestyles.
ENERGY IN / ENERGY OUTENERGY IN ENERGY OUT. What you eat and drink What you burn through
physical activity
What is energy balance?The same amount of ENERGY IN and
ENERGY OUT over time = weight stays the same
More IN than OUT over time = weight gain
More OUT than IN over time = weight loss Your ENERGY IN and OUT don't have to
balance exactly every day.
Components of Energy Expenditure
Physicalactivities
Basal metabolismThermic effectof food
Resting metabolism = Basal metabolism
Energy Balance=ENERGY IN vs ENERGY OUT
Basal Metabolism
Dietary Intake Physical Activity
Thermic Effect of food
For example, to reduce ENERGY IN by 150 calories (for a 150 pound person):
Drink water instead of a 12-ounce regular soda
Downsize a medium French fries to a small, or substitute a salad with dressing on the side
Eat an egg-white omelet (w/ three eggs), instead of whole eggs
Use tuna canned in water (6-ounce can), instead of oil
To increase ENERGY OUT by 150 calories:
Shoot hoops for 30 minutes
To increase ENERGY OUT by 150 calories:
Walk two miles in 30 minutes
:To increase ENERGY OUT by 150 calories
Do some gardening for 30 minutes
To increase ENERGY OUT by 150 calories:
Go for a 30 minute bike ride
To increase ENERGY OUT by 150 calories:
Dance with your family or friends for 30 minutes
Managing ENERGY OUTPhysical activity guidelines recommend…
At least 30 minutes of physical activity for adults
At least 60 minutes of physical activity for children
…on most, preferably all, days of the weekActivity time can be broken up into short bursts
A Note on Using BMI
BMI doesn’t work well for those who are…
Muscular
Very tall
Very short
Children – use BMI-for-Age growth charts
BASAL METABOLISM The minimum energy expended to keep a
resting, awake body alive~60-70% of the total energy needs
Includes energy needed for maintaining a heartbeat, respiration, body temperature
Amount of energy needed varies between individuals
INFLUENCES ON BASAL METABOLISMBody surface area (weight, height)GenderBody temperatureThyroid hormoneAgeKcal intakePregnancyUse of caffeine and tobacco
PHYSICAL ACTIVITYIncreases energy expenditure beyond Basal
Metabolic RateVaries widely among individualsMore activity, more energy burnedLack of activity is the major cause of obesity
THERMIC EFFECT OF FOODEnergy used to digest, absorb, and
metabolize food nutrients“Sales tax” of total energy consumed~5-10% above the total energy consumed
TEF is higher for CHO and protein than fatLess energy is used to transfer dietary fat
into adipose stores
NONEXERCISE ACTIVITY THERMOGENESISNon voluntary physical activity triggered by
overeatingFidgeting
Over eating increases sympathetic nervous system activity
Resists weight gain
Fatfold measuresHydrodensitometry Bioelectrical impedance
Air displacementplethysmography
Dual energy X-rayabsorptiometry (DEXA)
Methods Used to Measure Body Fat“
Distribution of Body FatCentral Obesity – Abdominal fat (apple
shape) with higher risk of Diabetes Type 2, Hypertension, Cardiovascular disease
Hip and thigh body fat (pear shape) – less harmful
Waist circumference: Women > 35 inches; Men > 40 inches; high risk
“Apple” and “Pear” Body Shapes Compared
A healthy body contains enough lean tissue to supporthealth and the right amount of fat to meet body needs.
The key to good health is to combine sensibleeating with regular exercise.
According to the two food labels, which food is lower in saturated fat?
According to the two food labels, which food is lower in cholesterol?
NONFAT MILKREDUCED FAT MILK2% Milk fat
Which has more calories and more saturated fat? Which one has more calcium?
Quick Guide to %DV
5%DV or less is low and 20%DV or more is high
The % Daily Values (%DV’s) are based on the Daily Value recommendations for key nutrients but only for a 2,000 calorie daily diet
Plain Yogurt Fruit Yogurt
If you are concerned about your intake of sugars, make sure that added sugars are not listed as one of the first few ingredients. Other names for added sugars include: corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice concentrate, maltose, dextrose, sucrose, honey, and maple syrup.
To limit nutrients that have no %DV, like trans fat and sugars, compare the labels of similar products and choose the food with the lowest amount.
Plain Yogurt - contains no added sugars
Fruit Yogurt - contains added sugars

Nutrition is one of the key factors in ensuring normal fetal development, and protecting the health of the mother.
Extra nutrients and energy are needed:* for fetal growth and development* to support the changes in the mother
that help support the pregnancy.
Increased nutrient needs:Increased energy needs:Increased energy needs:
Approximately 300kcal extra needed in 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
Protein intake is especially important, and should be at least 60g/day.
