The Basics
The three macronutrients
What are protein, carbohydrates, and fat
The main two categories of CHO
Simple and Complex
The form in which most dietary fats exist
What are triglycerides?
This element is only found in protein and not in carbohydrates or fats.
What is nitrogen?
This is the form of saccharide that is directly absorbed in the small intestines
What are monosaccharides?
The amount of a nutrient that meets the needs of 50% of a particular population
What is adequate intake
This sugar is the main type circulating in the body.
What is glucose
EPA and DHA are examples of this type of lipid
What is omega-3?
A person must intake roughly this much leucine to see an MPS response from a meal.
This form of assessing blood sugar response to carbohydrate feedings takes into account amount of carbohydrate in the serving
What is glycemic load?
This nutrient is 7 kcals per gram
What is alcohol
The saccharide categorization of fiber

What is the % Daily Value
The glucose transporter found on muscle cells
What is GLUT-4
This dietary fat contains at least 1 double bond
What is an unsaturated fat.

What is 3 grams.
The digestion of this macronutrient includes the lymph system
What is fat digestion?
The amount of energy needed to raise 1g of water 1 degree Celsius
What is a calorie
The AMDR for CHO
What is 45-65% of daily kcals?
The AMDR for fat
What is 20-35%
The recommended range for protein in g/kg per day.
What is 1.2-2.0 g/kg/day?
