Fats - Carbs- Proteins

FATS- THere are different types of fat and each does something different to your body and how your body takes it in. Saturated fats are found in foods like:cheese, butter, and milk. Saturated fats are linked to coronary heart disease. You should only take in about 10% of your diet.
Unsaturated fats can be either monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fats may lower chance of getting coronary heart disease a little and are found in foods like: olive oil, almonds, and pecans. Polyunsaturated fats can be found in things like corn oil and they are not linked to heart disease, they dont hurt you, but they also dont help you. Cholestriol: There are two types: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is the bad one because it leaves cholestiol on the walls of your arteries. HDL is is the good one becase it removes cholestriol from the walls of arteries.
Suggested intake cholesterol: 300mg.


CARBS: There are also different types of carbs, MonoSacharrides include glucose and fructose. Disacharrides are two monosacharrides put together, so if glucose and frucose combined that would be a disacharride (Sucrose). Polysacharrides are a bunch of monosacharides strung together, An example would be starch because when you eat like a potato chip, the enzymes in your saliva break down the starch (Poly) into smaller pieces (mono) which is why if you were to not chew a potato chip and left it in your mouth, it would taste kind of sweet.




PROTEIN: Everyone needs protein, not because it makes your muscles bigger, its the fact that your cells in your body need protein to function and work with the body to complete essential tasks for the body.The intake for the average male and female: just 0.83 grams per kilogram (2.2lbs) of bodyweight.
