The food guide puts foods into four food groups:
Grain Products
Fruit and Vegetables
Milk Products
Meats and Alternatives

7. Macronutrients. Carbohydrates
Proteins
Fats
8. Carbohydrates Carbs The body converts carbs to glucose (sugar) which is used for fuel for physical activity.
Simple Carbs sugar give burst of energy. fruit, milk, yogurt, and fruit juices. Also in soft drinks, candy, cookies, cakes etc.
Complex Carbs slower energy release. Bread, pasta, cereal, and rice.
9. Sprinter is like a simple carb.
Marathon runner is like a complex carb.
10. Proteins They help digest food, fight infection and build blood.
They only act as an energy source when all carbohydrates are exhausted.
Examples: eggs, meat, fish, poultry and milk products.
11. Fats Are a concentrated source of energy and very useful during prolong physical activity.
Not all fats are bad some play an important role in body function.
Good fats; granola bars, peanut butter, cheese, meats.
Bad fats; hot dogs, chips, French fries.
12. Micronutrients Minerals
Vitamins
13. Minerals Help get energy from carbs, proteins and fats (macronutrients), and help make bones, proteins and blood. (calcium, iron, sodium and chloride)
14. Vitamins Are chemicals the body needs to build and maintain its cells and to release energy from carbs, proteins and fats (macronutrients).
15. What are calories? Calories are the units used to measure the amount of energy we use.
Calories are a measure of the amount of energy that food will produce as it passes through the body.
10 gram of carbs = 40 calories
10 gram of protein = 40 calories
10 gram of fat = 90 calories
16. Energy Balance Equation. Caloric intake = energy in
Calories burned = energy out
Energy in = Energy out. Our weight does not change.
Energy in > (greater than) Energy out. We gain weight.
Energy in < (less than) Energy out. We loose weight.
17. Total Daily Caloric Need. How many calories we need depends on; gender, body size, genetics, age, and physical activity.
Harris Benedict formula helps us calculate the amount of energy our body needs. This is called our Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

19. Nutrition Information on Food Labels Understanding Nutrition Labelling to Make Informed Food Choices
20. Slide #2 - Speakers Notes
The different kinds of nutrition information found on food labels are the Nutrition Facts, the ingredient list, nutrition claims and health claims.
The next slides illustrate how federally regulated nutrition labelling provides consumers with information to make informed food choices.

21. 21 Slide #4 - Speakers Notes
Nutrition Facts became mandatory for almost all prepackaged foods on December 12, 2005.
The Nutrition Facts table appears on food labels with a consistent look, making it easy to find and easy to read.
The Nutrition Facts table includes:
the specific amount of food on which all nutrient information is based;
calories and 13 core nutrients;
the actual amount of a nutrient, in grams or milligrams; and
the % Daily Value.Slide #4 - Speakers Notes

22. Slide #7 - Speakers Notes
Nutrition Facts are based on a specific amount of food - compare this to the amount you eat.
The first thing you should do when you read the Nutrition Facts table is to:
look at the specific amount of food listed; and
compare it to how much you actually eat.
If you eat more or less than specified in the Nutrition Facts table, the amount of each nutrient consumed will be different than whats shown in the table.
This specific amount will be given in measures you may be familiar with, such as a cup or 1 slice of bread and in a metric unit such as millilitres or grams.
It is important to refer to this amount when comparing products.
The specific amount of food is not necessarily a suggested quantity of food to consume.

23. Slide #10- Speakers Notes
Now lets look at another component of the Nutrition Facts table the % Daily Value.
The % Daily Value is:
a benchmark for evaluating the nutrient content of foods quickly and easily;
based on recommendations for a healthy diet; and
used to determine whether there is a lot or a little of a nutrient in a specific amount of food.

24. Choose between two similar products...
Cereal 1 Cereal 2
Use the % DV to make informed food choices Slide #12 - Speakers Notes
The % Daily Value provides a quick review of the nutrient profile of a food. It puts the nutrients on the same scale. By using the 0-100% DV scale, you can compare products without doing complex mathematical calculations
For example, if you were choosing between these two cereals, and you were concerned with fibre, cereal 2 with a 20% Daily Value for fibre would be your best choice.
Additional information for speaker:
When similar products do not have similar serving sizes, sometimes comparisons can still be made. For example, it is appropriate to compare the % DV listed for calcium in two single servings of yogurt, one containing 125 g of yogurt and the other containing 175 g, as they are both sizes that you would eat at one sitting

25. Slide #13 - Speakers Notes
We have just reviewed how the Nutrition Facts table can help you make informed decisions.
Food labelling regulations also provide additional information to help consumers. The list of ingredients, which is mandatory, can also help you make informed food choices. It is important to know that the ingredients are always listed in descending order by weight with the item in the greatest amount listed first. This can help you choose between products. In the example shown on this slide, whole grain rolled oats is the ingredient in the greatest amount since it is listed first.
The list of ingredients is:
a source of certain nutrient information; and
a source of information for people with allergies or health concerns or for people who avoid certain ingredients based on their beliefs.
Additional information for speaker:
The ingredient list is a source of certain nutrient information. For example, the ingredient list will show if the food contains added sugars such as corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, glucose, golden syrup, malt syrup, invert sugar and concentrated fruit juice.

26. Slide #15 - Speakers Notes
Here are examples of nutrition claims that can help Canadians choose foods to decrease their intake of certain nutrients, such as fat or sodium.
Additional information for speaker:
To be able to use these nutrition claims, the food product must meet specific criteria. For example:
for sodium free, the product must have less than 5 mg of sodium per specific amount of food and per a pre-set amount of food specified in the regulations, the reference amount;
in order to be able to say the product is low in fat, the product must have 3 g or less of fat per specific amount of food and per reference amount.

27. Slide #16 - Speakers Notes
Here are examples of nutrition claims that indicate a food has more of certain nutrients which Canadians may want to increase, such as iron, calcium or fibre.
Because nutrition claims are optional and only highlight one nutrient, you may still need to refer to the Nutrition Facts table to make informed food choices.
Additional information for speaker:
To be able to use these nutrition claims, the food must meet specific criteria. For example:
the claim source of fibre indicates that the product must have 2 g or more of fibre per specific amount of food and per reference amount;
to be able to say the product is high in fibre, the product must have 4 g or more of fibre per specific amount of food and per reference amount;
for a product to have the claim very high in fibre, the product must have at least 6 g of fibre per specific amount of food and per reference amount; and
for most vitamins and minerals, a source indicates that a serving of the food contains at least 5% of the Daily value, as indicated in the Nutrition Facts table.Slide #16 - Speakers Notes
