    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.
