227 Questions

Which macronutrient deliver the least amount energy?

Interestingly, our bodies use less energy to digest, transport, and store FAT, and relatively more to process protein and carbohydrate

Answer = Fat

Calories per gram in macro nutrients?

It depends on what the food or drink item is.

Is potassium a macronutrient or a micronutrient?

As well as being an element, yes. It combines with Oxygen to form 'phosphate' which is used to build the phosphate-sugar backbone of DNA and Rna, and is used to form phospholipids, and which acts as the On/Off control factor that binds to, for one example, the Kinase family of [very large] enzymes.

What is the difference between a Macronutrient and micronutrient?

Macronutrients make up the bulk of what we eat, they are the energy-giving component of what we eat, like the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Micronutrients are the components of what we eat that are essential to good health. Examples, are vitamins and minerals.

Where are the macronutrients located on a nutritional label?

Macronutrients are usually listed on the back of a nutrition label. In some cases. They can also be found on the side of the label.

How are macronutrients stored in the body?

The three macronutrients of the human are carbohydrates, proteins and fats. FAT: stored as adipose tissue and a small amount is stored in the muscle.

PROTEIN: used as the building material of muscles and organ tissue - no "storage" per se.

CARBS: stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. Glycogen storage is limited and can only provide 1600 - 2000 calories when needed.

Can you explain the primary macro nutrients?

Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) the three secondary macro nutrients: calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg)

Is oxygen a primary macro nutrient or secondary?

Oxygen is not considered a primary or secondary macronutrient. It is a non-mineral nutrient.

What is the satiation of the macronutrients from the most to the least?

Fat. Protein is the most satiating followed by carbohydrates and lastle Fat. This is because hih fat foods are flavorable, which stimulates apetite and entices a person to eat more.

Childhood is the major stage of development in humans, in terms of bone and muscle structure and the development of the internal organs. What children eat affects their growth, their behaviour, their performance in school, their self esteem, their mood, eyesight, motor skills, and can either lower the risk of osteoporosis and diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, or raise it. Nutrition is especially important to children under the age of 6 because that is when their brain is developing.

1g protein = 4 calories

What is the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges recommendation for Carbohydrates?

50% of total Kcal needs for a healthy diet and 45% off total Kcal neds for a diabetic diet plan

The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range for total daily fat intake?

The AMDR for protein is 10-35% of daily caloric intake. Below this range risks reduced healing, immune system function, and in severe cases a disease called kwashiorkor. The body excretes excess protein via the urine, but overconsumption of protein can tax the kidneys in vulnerable individuals.
