Study Notes
Culture and Religion
- Culture encompasses behaviors and beliefs of specific social, ethnic, or age groups, influencing lifestyle and food choices.
Demographics
- Food choices are affected by demographics, including age, gender, educational level, income, and cultural background.
Flavor
- Flavor integrates taste, smell, mouthfeel, texture, and temperature; engages all five senses: taste, smell, touch, sight, and sound.
- Essential nutrients:
- Micronutrients require small amounts, including vitamins and minerals.
- Macronutrients needed in larger amounts include carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
Food Choice Factors
- Factors influencing food choices:
- Flavor and sensory aspects
- Cultural and religious beliefs
- Social and emotional context
- Environmental concerns
- Demographic influences
- Health considerations
- The food industry and media impact
Energy Yielding Nutrients
- Energy-yielding nutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins) provide caloric energy:
- Carbohydrates: 4 kcal/gram
- Lipids: 9 kcal/gram
- Proteins: 4 kcal/gram
Nutrients
- Nutrients categorized into six classes fulfill different roles:
- Carbohydrates provide energy and regulate body processes.
- Lipids provide energy, support growth, and regulate body processes.
- Proteins provide energy, support growth, and regulate processes.
- Vitamins promote growth/maintenance and regulate processes.
- Minerals promote growth/maintenance and regulate processes.
- Water supports growth/maintenance and regulates processes.
Physical Activity & Energy Expenditure
- Common activities and their calorie expenditure per hour for a 154-pound person:
- Hiking: 367 kcal
- Light gardening, dancing: 331 kcal
- Bicycling (<10 mph): 294 kcal
- Walking (3.5 mph): 279 kcal
- Weight lifting (light): 220 kcal
- Running/jogging (5 mph): 588 kcal
- Swimming (slow freestyle): 514 kcal
- Aerobics: 478 kcal
Diet
- Diet refers to the regular consumption of specific foods and beverages.
Kilocalories
- Kilocalories measure energy from food; determined by burning a portion of food and measuring heat produced.
- Daily kilocaloric requirements depend on:
- Basal metabolism, which sustains vital functions at rest.
- Thermic effect of food related to physical activity and digestion energy needs.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
- BMR influenced by various factors:
- Gender: Men have higher BMR due to more muscle.
- Age: BMR declines by approximately 2% per decade after 30 years.
- Growth periods show increased BMR.
- Height: Taller individuals have a higher BMR.
- Body temperature: BMR rises in extreme temperatures.
- Fever and stress increase BMR significantly.
- Exercise boosts BMR for hours post-activity.
- Smoking and caffeine raise energy expenditure.
- BMR is lowest during sleep.
