and related food decisions

I. Personal food intake:
2. a. Considering the need for the six
major nutrients to be present in our
daily diet, the four food groups help
us choose a well-balanced diet to
meet all of our nutritional needs.
i. Grain products: provide CHO’s
ii. Vegetables and Fruits: provides
water, minerals, vitamins, CHO’s
iii. Milk products: provides protein,
lipids, CHO’s, water and vitamins
iv. Meat and alternatives: provides
protein, lipids
II. Assignment: design a meal plan, for
breakfast, lunch or supper that provides a
balance of the six major nutrients.

3. I. Fad diets: Diets or eating plans for the
purpose of losing weight that often fail to
give the dieter a balance of all six major
nutrients.
II. Some fad diets include:
a.Low-CHO diet: The idea is by reducing
you CHO intake (sugar and grain
foods), the body will burn it’s extra fat
for energy. You can eat all the fat and
protein foods you want.
b. Cabbage-soup diet: You can eat all
the cabbage soup you want. The idea
is that you feel “full” although there is
very little CHO’s, protein or fat in the
cabbage that your body would need
for energy, and your body in turn
burns its own fat for energy.
