ANT214H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Joule, Refined Grains, Membrane Transport Protein
Document Summary
Energy from macronutrients: carbohydrates (plant food, = 45-65% 130g daily intake, fat, 20-35% 28 g daily intake, protein, 10-35% Female 46g, male 56g daily intake: o important to building amino acids which is to make body"s own protein. But if you"re conserving energy, you are going to feel fatigue b/c you"re not going to expend the amount of energy you usually would: o mobilization of stores, o breakdown of active body tissues to synthesize glucose. Taking muscle for protein: o prioritization of nutrient flow to most critical organs, * nutrient surplus = supplements. People taking wrong or too much vitamins: * most common over consumed are fat, carbs and protein. Calcium: function , bone/tooth formation, regulates muscle contraction (includes heart beat), activates enzymes. If don"t have enough might get tectnee --> muscle twitch + contract: rda - 1. 0g (recommended daily allowance, too little, minor , numbness of fingers, muscle cramps, lethargy (tired), poor appetite.
