List of macronutrients. This list is a categorization of the most common food components based on their macronutrients.

List of macronutrients

Macronutrients can refer to the chemical elements that humans consume in the largest quantities (See Nutrient) Macronutrients that provide energy[edit] Carbohydrates[edit] Protein[edit] Amino acids[edit] Fat[edit] Saturated fats[edit] Monounsaturated fats[edit] Polyunsaturated fats[edit] Essential fatty acids[edit] These 2 essential fatty acids are the starting point for other important omega-acids (e.g. Non-macronutrients[edit] Water[edit] Water is perhaps the most important substance for life on Earth. Fitness and bodybuilding[edit] In sports, fitness and bodybuilding the term Macros is used extensively to refer to proteins, carbs and fats.

Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy. Nutrients are substances needed for growth, metabolism, and for other body functions. Since “macro” means large, macronutrients are nutrients needed in large amounts. There are three macronutrients: Carbohydrate Protein Fat While each of these macronutrients provides calories, the amount of calories that each one provides varies. Carbohydrate provides 4 calories per gram. Six Basic Nutrients and Their Functions. There are six classes of essential nutrients necessary for human survival: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals and water.

Six Basic Nutrients and Their Functions

The best way to get these nutrients is by following a varied, healthy diet featuring plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, nonfat dairy products and healthy fats. Dietary requirements vary with age and sex. Consult your physician or a registered dietitian about the diet that is best for you. Carbohydrates are a major energy source. Along with providing fuel for physical activity, they also power the body's involuntary functions, including heartbeat, breathing and digestive processes.

Skin, muscle and bones depend on dietary protein for normal growth, development and maintenance. You may think of lipids, or fats, as dietary enemies, but they are as necessary to the body's normal functioning as the other essential nutrients. Vitamins are micronutrients, meaning the body needs them in small quantities. Six Basic Nutrients Required for Good Health. 1.

Carbohydrates Carbohydrates can be grouped into two categories: simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are sugars whereas complex carbohydrates consist of starch and dietary fibre. Carbohydrate provides about 4 kcal (kcal = kilocalories = Calories) per gram (except for fibre) and is the energy that is used first to fuel muscles and the brain. Soluble fibre (fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, brown rice, and oat, barley and rice brans) lowers blood cholesterol and helps to control blood sugar levels while providing very little energy. 2. Protein from food is broken down into amino acids by the digestive system. 3. The fat in food includes a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fat. 4. Vitamins help to regulate chemical reactions in the body.
