found that when I am very busy I tend to eat less and healthier. When I am just sitting around I tend to eat more than necessary and the foods are not as good for me. Using this tracker has really helped me to see what I am consuming‚ as far as carbohydrates‚ fats‚ sugars‚ proteins‚ sodium‚ and total calories. I have also been able to tell that the more active I am the more calories that I burn in a day. Before I started using the tracker I never gave much thought to how many calories I was burning

are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ nucleotides‚ and water. These are all very important to humans and without them we would not be able to survive. They have many functions that encourage a human cell and a human body to function. Carbohydrates include sugars and starches‚ contain carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen which appears in a ratio of 1:2:1. Carbohydrates are classified according to size as monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. The primary function of carbohydrates is to

they are both. * By choosing carbohydrates full of fiber we can increase the health benefits of good carbs. These carbs get absorbed slowly into our systems. Examples: whole grains‚ vegetables‚ fruits‚ and beans. * * We can decrease the health risk of bad carbs by eating fewer refined and processed carbohydrates that take away beneficial fiber. Examples: white bread and white rice. How does our body turn carbohydrates into energy? When carbohydrates are digested and broken down by

Experiment #4 (10/31/14) Lab Review Objective To introduce the basic molecules of life and to test for their presence in different substances. Introduction Macromolecules are in all forms of life. These organic compounds are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. These are monomers and they link together into long chains that form polymers. Different reagents can be used to find the presence of these macromolecules. Proteins are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ and sometimes

Introduction On average Americans eat 627 lbs. of dairy products each year (“USDA ERS - Dairy Data‚” n.d.). When consumed the principle carbohydrate in dairy‚ lactose a disaccharide sugar‚ is either digested in the small intestine by lactase or is passed to the large intestine where it is broken down by bacteria. The lactose disaccharide is composed of the monosaccharides glucose and galactose. Lactase in an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of lactose into its two monosaccharides in a hydrolysis

Protein is called a casein which is di –is the lactose‚ Carbohydrate is Mono- is the glucose (simple sugar)‚ Fat is a straight chain fatty acids that are saturated and is poly – I think. 2. The monomer for the protein is amino acid – milk has all 9-essential amino acids. The monomer for the carbohydrate is monosaccharide‚ which is a simple sugar. The monomer for the lipid is fatty acid

CARBOHYDRATE ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION: * Organic compounds are the major components of cells and tissues. They provide energy for life processes‚ participate in and regulate metabolic reactions‚ and transmit information. * Organic macromolecules in living organisms can be classified as carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ or nucleic acids etc. CARBOHYDRATE CHEMISTRY: * A Carbohydrate is an organic compound with the general formula Cn (H2O)

nutrients. Nutrients take the form of two substances; macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are made up of carbohydrates‚ proteins and fat. Large amounts are needed. Carbohydrates are divided into two categories; simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are sugar molecules that provide a quick realise of energy‚ they are easily broken down. Complex carbohydrates take longer to break down and are either starch or fibre molecules. Micronutrients consist of both minerals and vitamins
