Study Notes
Nutrition Facts and Labeling
- Toddlers (1-3 years old) should consume no more than 120 calories from added sugars per day, which is 10% of their daily calorie intake.
Energy Sources
- Calories come from three main sources: fat, carbohydrates, and protein.
- Fat provides 9 calories per gram, while carbohydrates and protein provide 4 calories per gram each.
Nutrition Labeling
- Serving size is the amount of food in a single serving, measured in units such as cups, tablespoons, or teaspoons.
- Nutrition labels display the serving size, servings per container, and amount per serving.
Macronutrients
- Fat: provides energy, with 9 calories per gram; 20-35% of daily calories should come from fat.
- Carbohydrates: provide energy, with 4 calories per gram; 5% of daily calories should come from carbohydrates.
- Protein: provides energy, with 4 calories per gram.
Percent Daily Value (PDV)
- PDV is a guide to the nutritional content of a food, displayed as a percentage next to each ingredient.
- It is based on the Daily Value (DV), which is the recommended daily intake of nutrients.
Healthy Eating
- The recommended daily intake of calories varies based on factors such as age, gender, and physical activity level.
- A diet with a high percentage of the Daily Value (DV) is a good source of nutrients, while a low percentage indicates a low nutrient content.
Fats
- Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, found in animal products and some plant-based sources.
- Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature, found in plant-based sources such as avocados, nuts, and seeds.
- Trans-fats are a type of unsaturated fat that can increase cholesterol levels.
