***You know this!***

Calories that the body can use as energy

***Again calories are not actually present in food***

DNA is responsible for inherited traits, humans have

We should choose a healthy diet/nutrition plan based on:
1) Variety
2) Balance
3) Moderation
4) High fruits, vegetables, & whole grains
5) Moderate calorie, sodium, & sugar intake
6) Low in unhealthy fats (ex. trans fat, saturated fat, & cholesterol)

1) Eating moderate portion sizes & eating moderate consumptions (quantities) of each food
2) Moderation is not overdoing it & not consuming too many calories, fat, sugar, salt, & alcohol

***Think of in terms of what we need for our bodies to be healthy, in relations to the periodic table***
1) Iron (Fe)
2) Magnesium (Mg)
3) Calcium (Ca)
4) Zinc (Zn)

1) Protein= 4 calories/gram
2) Carbs= 4 calories/gram
3) Lipids= 9 calories/gram

Yes!

We should eat a variety of foods because no single food can provide all the nutrients our bodies need for optimal health

We use the scientific method

A calorie is the measure of energy within a food, but are not present within food

No, although it provides 7 calories/gram

1) Cancer
2) HBP
3) Diabetes

Choosing food from different groups & different foods within those groups

A systematic unbiased approach that allows science to acquire new knowledge & correct & update previous knowledge

calorie

1) To be malnourished, one either has a deficient or excessive energy from food or nutrient intake
2) Malnourished can also be caused by an imbalance of nutrients

YES!

Having balance means:
1) Making unhealthy choices with healthy choices
2) Balance calories in with calories out
3) Balance foods within food groups

1) To help develop nutritional recommendations
2) To help understand the functions of nutrition
3) To help learn about the role nutrition plays in health promotion and disease prevention

Kcalorie or kilocalorie

Human inherit genes, which come from larger molecules known as DNA

Nutritional genomics takes a look at the link between our genes & nutrition & our health

YES!

1) We first make an observation- What do we see?
2) We then propose a hypothesis- What do we think the outcome will be
3) We then create & test an experiment to test our hypothesis
4) We analysis results from our experiment
5) Publish & present our data in the form of a peer review
6) repeat & expand our experiment- need 2-3+ experiment (***one experiment does not justify whether an experiment is valid or not***)
7) We can now formulate ideas & theories based on the results from many (2-3+) experiments conducted
