Carbohydrates • sugars and starches that provide energy • types: - simple(sugar): fruits, milk, and vegetable, cake, candy, and other refined sugar - complex: rice, pasta, and starchy vegetables. Provide vitamins, minerals, and fibre • contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen • monomers joined by glycoside bond to form disaccharide • fuel the body, help getting through the day • get hungry fast If you eat simple carbohydrates • not be hungry if you eat complex carbohydrates
Fats • made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen • come in liquid or solid form • source of energy in foods • types: - saturated fats: butter, cheese, whole milk, ice cream, cream, and fatty meats, and oils such as coconut, palm, and palm Kemal oil - trans-fatty acids: fried foods, commercial baked goods, processed foods and margarine • contain nutrients that provide energy the body needs • needed for absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K • one of the three nutrients with protein and carbohydrates
