    Study Notes

    Energy Forms

    • Energy is the ability to do work.
    • Energy exists in various forms crucial for nutrition.
    • Chemical energy is found in food.
    • Light/solar energy aids vitamin D synthesis in skin and photosynthesis in plants.
    • Mechanical energy powers muscle movement.
    • Electrical energy fuels brain and nerve cell function.
    • Heat energy results from energy conversion.

    Energy Storage

    • Energy from food breakdown is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
    • ATP serves as a store of energy-rich phosphate bonds.
    • Living cells utilize energy only in the form of energy-rich phosphate bonds.
    • Cellular activity triggers ATP breakdown into adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
    • One mole of ATP provides 8 kcal/33 kJ of energy.
    • ADP is reconverted to ATP through phosphate ion addition.

    Energy Value of Food

    • Physiological fuel value (kcal/g) and potential energy (kcal/g) in food are tabulated.
    • Carbohydrates have a fuel value of 4.0 kcal/g and a potential energy of 4.15 kcal/g.
    • Proteins have a fuel value of 4.0 kcal/g and a potential energy of 5.65 kcal/g.
    • Fats have a fuel value of 9.0 kcal/g and a potential energy of 9.4 kcal/g.

    Total Energy Requirements

    • Total energy needs are the sum of basal energy, energy from food, and energy for physical activity.
    • Energy is required for growth, maintenance, numerous bodily processes, body temperature regulation, and mental/physical activity.

    Types of Activities

    • Activities are categorized into voluntary (under will control) and involuntary (not under will control).
    • Examples of voluntary activities include walking, sitting, and dishwashing.
    • Involuntary activities include heart-beating, respiration, and maintaining body temperature.
    • Total energy = basal metabolic rate + specific dynamic action + activity rate

    Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)

    • BMR is the energy required for involuntary bodily functions and temperature maintenance.
    • Factors influencing BMR include body size, composition, age, sex, health status, fever, hormones, and climate.

    Specific Dynamic Action (SDA)

    • SDA refers to the increased metabolic rate after eating.
    • Energy is used for digesting, absorbing, and metabolizing food.

    Physical Activity

    • Physical activity increases BMR.
    • This includes energy needed for work, recreation, and mental activity.
    • Physical activities range from sedentary/light work to moderate and heavy work.

    Body's Energy Stores

    • The body stores energy in three main forms: glycogen, muscles, and adipose tissue.
    • Glycogen, the carbohydrate storage form, is found in muscles (300g) and liver (100g).
    • Protein is stored in limited amounts in muscles.
    • Fat is stored in adipose tissue, with varying storage amounts across individuals.

    Energy Balance

    • Energy balance is the state where energy intake equals energy expenditure, resulting in stable body weight.
    • Energy balance : energy output = energy input.
    • Excessive calorie intake leads to weight gain (obesity).
    • Insufficient intake of carbohydrates and fats can cause underweight.
    • Both are detrimental and require correction.
