Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins that provide energy and building blocks.

Vitamins and minerals that support body functions but do not provide energy.

Provide readily available energy; stored as glycogen and converted to fat.

Carbohydrates stored primarily in skeletal muscle and liver.

Fats stored throughout the body; can be saturated or unsaturated.

Increase risk of diseases; found in solid fats like butter.

Help lower disease risk; typically found in oils and fish.

Essential for growth, repair, hormone regulation, and energy supply.

20 total, necessary for body function and protein synthesis.

Unbalanced diet leading to either under or over-consumption of nutrients.

Insufficient intake of energy-providing foods or nutrients.

Excess intake of energy-providing foods leading to health issues.

Includes age, genetics, health, social class, and more.

Measure of nutrients a food provides compared to its energy content.

Best sources for amino acids; minimally processed foods.

Constitutes about 60% of the human body; vital for all functions.

Support metabolism and are necessary for proper body function.

Essential for bone strength and nerve impulse transmission.

Processes that release energy from macronutrients for body functions.

Balance between energy consumed and energy used impacts weight.

Most body weight consists of fat, water, and proteins.

All chemical reactions in the body, maintaining homeostasis.

Regulation of bodily functions for stability; often tied to metabolism.

Proteins form ligaments and tendons, connecting body parts.

Proteins, vitamins, and minerals help manage metabolic speed.

Proper nutrient balance is essential for overall health.
