Document Summary
Module one objectives: de ne key nutrition terms. Identify the six major nutrients including how they are categorized and their energy contents if applicable. Identify key bene ts of eating food rather than consuming supplements or elemental diets. The energy-yielding nutrients (carbohydrates, fat, and protein) contain different amounts of energy. It is important to know how much energy per gram each contains so that you can make sure you are meeting your energy needs, without consuming too many calories. To gure out how many calories come from a particular nutrient you need to multiple the number of calories per gram by the number of grams. For example, 100 grams of cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast has 31 grams of protein. 4 cal/g x 31 g = 124 calories. 10 to 15% of total daily calories are from protein. 30% or less of our total daily calories are from fat (most of which should be unsaturated)
