  1. Nutrition Calories consumed = Energy Calories or energy that we do not use during daily activities are stored asFat!

  2. Sources of Energy Carbohydrate = 4 calories per gram Protein = 4 calorie per gram Fat = 9 calories per gram

  3. How does the Body Burn Calories? Carbohydrates are the 1st source of energy. If you are physically active, you should consume carbohydrates for added energy.

  4. Second source of energy? Fats are our second source of energy and are stored in the body as an emergency reserve. Although we want to stay away from a high fat diet, small amounts of fats are important to our diet. With out fats the absorption of vitamins A,D,E,and K (Fat soluble vitamins) would be impossible.

  5. Third source of energy? Proteins are the third source of energy. We need protein to build muscle tissue which in turn boost our metabolism. However when we exercise for long periods of time at the high end of level 4 and into level 5 (which is outside our target HR Zone) our body will automatically try to reserve our fat. Thus we will turn to protein for energy? Is this what we want?
