  2. The 6 Basic Nutrients 1) CARBOHYDRATES – used for energy in our bodies 2) LIPIDS – used for storage of energy, cell structure 3) PROTEINS – used for cell structure and as enzymes. Ten of the twenty amino acids can be made by our body. The other ten must be eaten in the diet and are called the ESSENTIAL amino acids. Meats contain all the essential amino acids so are COMPLETE proteins. Vegetables may be lacking in certain amino acids.

  3. The 6 Basic Nutrients 4) MINERALS – needed for body structure (bones), fluid balance, muscle contraction, nerve impulse, and blood clotting 5) VITAMINS – used as components of cell metabolism 6) WATER – needed for many things – temperature regulation, chemical reactions, solvent, transport, makes up most volume of cells, etc. FIBRE – Sometimes included as a nutrient as it is essential in the diet. It helps us to retain moisture long enough to absorb from the large intestine and also signals the colon to move food along to be expelled from the body.
