BIOD121: Module 1 Problem Set 100% accurate answers graded A+ If a fudge brownie has 9 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein and 12 grams of fat. How many calories are in the brownie? 9 grams of carbohydrates x 4 = 36 kcal 1 gram of protein x 4 = 4 kcal 12 grams of fat x 9 = 108 kcal total = 148 kcal If you ate the fudge brownie, you would consume 148 calories. If a fudge brownie has 22 grams of carbohydrates, 2 gram of protein and 16 grams of fat. How many calories are in the brownie? 22 grams carbohydrates x 4 = 88 kcal 2 grams protein x 4 = 8 kcal 16 grams fat x 9 = 144 kcal total = 240 kcal If you ate the fudge brownie, you would consume 240 calories. If a fudge brownie has 12 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein and 10 grams of fat. How many calories are in the brownie? 2 grams protein x 4 = 8 kcal 10 grams fat x 9 = 90 kcal total = 146 kcal If you ate the fudge brownie, you would consume 146 calories. The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you are told that you should not consume any more than 23 % of your calories from fat, how many grams of fat should you eat in a day? 2000 x .23 = calories / 9 = 51.1 grams of fat An individual's health can be assessed using the ABCDE's of nutritional assessment. Below, indicate what each letter represents. A - Athropometrics- measurements of body composition such as height and weight B - Biochemical- measurement of nutrients in blood, urine and feces C - Clinical - physical exam and general appearance D - Dietary- review of dietary intake and assessment E - Environmental- background, family history, life style and living conditions There are six classes of nutrients. Name three that are considered macronutrients. Carbohydrates, Protein, Lipids/Fats and Water There are six classes of nutrients. Name three that are organic. Carbohydrates, protein, fat and vitamins Name the key hormone that causes a feeling of hunger. Indicate where in the body it is produced and the process by which it operates. Ghrelin is produced by the stomach and travels to the brain to stimulate the hunger center as it deactivates the satiety center. There are six classes of nutrients. Name three that provide structure. Protein, fat, mineral and water The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you are told that you should not consume any more than 61 % of your calories from protein, how many grams of protein should you eat in a day? 2000 x .61 = calories / 4 = 305 grams of protein Using the sample nutritional label below, how many calories are in a serving of this food? 31 grams carbs 5 grams protein 12 grams fat 31 grams carbohydrates x 4 = 124 kcal 5 grams of protein x 4 = 20 kcal 12 grams of fat x 9 = 108 kcal total = 252 kcal in a serving of this food There are six classes of nutrients. Name the three that supply energy. Carbohydrates, proteins and fat Explain the differences between hunger and appetite. Hunger is the internal drive to find and eat food. It is often experienced as a negative sensation. Appetite is the external drive that encourages us to find and eat food. It is related to pleasant sensations associated with food. Describe in detail the role that the hypothalamus plays in determining whether or not you feel like eating. When we have not eaten for a period of time, the amount of nutrients in the blood begin to decline. This drop stimulates the feeding center in the hypothalamus which signals us to eat. When the nutrient level of the blood begin to rise, the satiety center is activated and our desire to continue to eat declines. Name the four types of external forces that influence our eating habits and patterns and give an example of how you experience each in your life. 1. Sensory: Includes how foods affect our senses such as the way it tastes, smells, and feels. For me, I love spicy and sweet foods so those scents such as baking cinnamon rolls or Thai curries trigger the desire to consume nutrients even when I don't necessarily need to eat. 2. Cognitive: Includes the influences of advertising, social factors, comfort foods, and our habitats. For example, protein is advertised as being good for energy and muscle health especially when doing physical activities such as hiking. When my family goes on a hike, I am now more likely to pack a protein bar or boiled egg for a snack rather than a cookie and gummy candies. 3. Environmental: Includes factors such as our lifestyle, economic standing, cultural influences, and environment or what is available to us. Here in Hawaii, we grow up eating poi made from mashed kalo corms. If you haven't grown up with it, there is a much higher possibility that you won't love it or even eat it later in life. Culturally it is significant because the kalo was a relative to Hawaiian people and was a main nutritional force. Another example of environmental force would be seasonal fruits and vegetables. When it is summer and the mango and lychee are in full swing, there is a much bigger probability that I'll eat it because it is free from friends and family or available at a much cheaper price than if it was off-season and the prices were driven way up. 4. Health Status: Includes factors such as age and gender, your physical condition, and anything disease-related that puts restrictions on what you can consume, and even things like how aging can alter your tastebuds. In my family, we have relatives with different health issues. When we do the cooking for big family dinners it is important to think about these and make the meals correspond accordingly. For example, Nana has a pancreas issue which means not only does she take medication every time she consumes foods, she also really watches her fat intake and tries to keep it extremely low. This has lead to learning to cook with much less fat, and even learning about what is good fats versus not so good fats. There are six classes of nutrients. Name three that regulate body processes. Proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals and water MyPlate illustrates 3 concepts. Name the concepts. Variety, moderation, and balance The current recommendation to maintain your body weight is 2000 calories daily. If you are told that you should not consume any more than 52 % of your calories from carbohydrates, how many grams of carbohydrates should you eat in a day? 2000 x .52 = calories / 4 = 260 grams of carbs List and define the three states of nutritional health. Desirable nutrition is achieved by eating a variety of foods which provide all the essential nutrients to support normal body functions. Over-nutrition is the excess consumption of calories, fats, saturated fats and cholesterol which increase the risk for chronic disease. Under-nutrition occurs when nutrient intake does not meet nutrient needs and over time health begins to decline. Given the nutritional label shown below, how many milligrams of sodium will you consume if you ate the entire container of macaroni and cheese? 470 ml per serving there are 2 servings in a box 470 mg per serving x 2 servings per container = 940 mg Name the key hormone that causes a feeling of satiety. Indicate where in the body it is produced and the process by which it operates. Leptin is produced by the fat cells which are also known as adipose tissue. The role of leptin is to alert the brain to turn off the hunger center and activate the satiety center when consuming a meal.
