  3. The Energy Equation • Eating well to optimize performance • Take in what you expend • Balanced diet • Basic nutrient needs, not excessive • Energy storage = energy intake – energy output • This might be oversimplified, but generally, this is how it works 3

  4. Counting Calories and Caloric Balance • Carbohydrates give 4 calories/gram • Proteins give 4 cal/g • Fats give 9 cal/g • Daily Caloric Need • Calories needed to maintain current weight • Less calories taken in results in a negative caloric balance • More calories taken in results in a positive caloric balance (weight gain) 4

  5. Calorie • calorie (c): the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius. • Calorie (C): a measure of the amount of energy that food will produce as it passes through the body • Measured in joules (J) and kilojoules (kJ) • 1 Calorie = 4.184 kJ • High Calorie food produce lots of energy • In excess the reserve energy is stored in the body (usually as fat) – obesity • Daily caloric needs – number of Calories necessary to maintain one’s current body weight • BMR, Calories for activity, thermic effect of food (the energy needed to digest, absorb, transport, and store the food one ingests) • # needed depends on the individual (size, metabolism, physical activity level...) 5

  6. Macronutrients • Direct source of energy • All supply energy for physical activity and work • Protein • Carbohydrates • Fats 6

  7. Carbohydrates • Most accessible form of energy • Two types: complex and simple • Complex (pastas, cereals, rice) • Simple (sugars, candy) • Broken down into glucose, excess stored as glycogen • Stored in liver, muscle, and blood • 50-60% of diet should be CHOs 7

  8. Complex vs Simple Carbs • Complex take longer to absorb (larger molecules) ie. cereals, fruits, pasta • Simple take less time to absorb (smaller molecules) ie. Sugar • Glycemic Index • Low GI foods – slower absorption of CHO = less spike in insulin and no crash/cravings • High GI foods – fast absorption of CHO = insulin spike and crash/cravings usually follow click here for description of GI 8

  9. Proteins • Energy nutrient • Two types: complete and incomplete • Complete (animal products, meat, dairy) • Contain all essential amino acids • Incomplete (plant products, nuts, beans, vegetables) • Do not contain all essential amino acids • Broken down into essential and nonessential amino acids • 15-20% of diet should be PROs (1g/kg/day) 9

  10. Fats • Most concentrated form of energy • Essential for organ protection, insulation and vitamin solubility • Two types: saturated and unsaturated • Saturated (animal products) • Unsaturated (plant products) • Broken down into fatty acids, excess stored as subcutaneous fat • Stored in liver, muscle, and blood15 – 20% of diet should be fats 10

  11. Saturated vs Polyunsaturated Fats • Saturated fats have higher concentrations of LDL (animal sources) • Unsaturated fats have higher concentrations of HDL (plant sources)

  12. LDL vs HDL Cholesterol • LDL low-density lipoprotein (major carrier of cholesterol in the blood and transports cholesterol to body tissues) • excess cholesterol is stored in the body in the form of LDL and is responsible for the development of atherosclerosis. • HDL high-density lipoprotein (removes excess cholesterol from the body) • It blocks the accumulation of cholesterol in the artery wall and is protective against the development of heart disease 12

  13. Atherosclerosis – hardening of the arteries • Cholesterol collection on the interior walls of major blood vessels • Blood has a difficult time passing through them 13

  14. Micronutrients • Act as co-agents in the bioenergetic process • Vitamins • Minerals • Water 14

  15. Vitamins • Essential for metabolism, growth and development of the body • Not a source of energy • Effective in minute quantities • Regulators of metabolic processes, play a role in energy transformation • Fat-soluble: A,D,E, and K • Water-soluble: B and C 15

  16. Minerals • From earths’ waters and topsoil and absorbed by plants we eat • Seven key minerals: • Calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, and sulfur • Important trace minerals: iron, manganese, and zinc 16

  17. Water • Essential for temperature regulation • Aids in digestion • 65% of total body weight for adult male • 55% of total body weight for adult female • Aids in all metabolic activity • Medium for chemical reactions • We can survive for only a short time without water • Dehydration – loss of water • Affect human performance • Plain water is best replacement for activity less than 90 min. in duration • Replacements are needed when activity is longer than 90 min. • Loss of electrolytes 17

  18. Before Exercise • 2-3 hrs before, drink 2-3 cups of water • 10-20 mins before, drink 1 cup of water • 2-3 hrs before, ingest drinks that contain CHO (juices work best) • During Exercise • Sports beverage (50-90 min or longer) • Ideal concentration (6-8% CHO) • In general – drink .5 cups of cool fluid after each 10 mins of exercise • After Exercise • Fluid loss should be regained within two hrs after exercise • Should contain CHO • Necessary to rebuild glycogen and electrolyte stores 18

  19. Energy Equation: • Energy storage = energy intake – energy output • The amount of excess energy stored by our body represents the difference between the amount taken in and the amount expended (some exceptional cases may have slightly different results) 19

  20. Weight Loss and Weight Gain • Weight Loss – negative energy balance • A combination of exercise and intake modification works best • Eat smaller but more frequent meals through the day • Engage in a healthy exercise program • Weight Gain – positive energy balance • Extra calories should come from carbohydrate sources • Eat larger portions of food, and more meals throughout the day. 20

  21. Homework Questions • What is the difference between a complete and incomplete protein? • What is absorbed faster, low or high glycemic index CHOs? • What is the difference between HDLs and LDLs? Which is good for you? • What is atherosclerosis? • What is a calorie? • How many calories should you eat per day? • What % of our body weight is water? 21
