Document Summary

Basal metabolism: energy required to maintain normal body function while at rest, uses 60-75% of total kcal needs. Physical activity: energy needed for muscular work, more physical activity, less basal metabolism, most variable. Dietary thermogenesis: energy used to ingest and digest food, peristalsis (wavelike contractions of the intestine) Adipose: body fat, less, requires 20% for basal metabolism. Brain, liver: more, required 80% for basal metabolism. Absorption: transferred from the digestive system into body fluids for transport, Carb: simple sugars, complex sugars and fiber. Sources: maize, rice and wheat, casava staple foods that do(cid:374)"t supply all (cid:374)ut(cid:396)ie(cid:374)ts. Protein: essential structure, involved in almost all of the body functions. Structures, energy source: children need 5-20, adults need 10-35% Incomplete and complete proteins (soy bean is a complete source), are increased in some circumstances: need lysine. Good energy source, carrier for essential fatty acids, adds flavor, saturated (animal products and oils) and unsaturated (pant foods: children need 30-40, adults need 30-25%
