Lipids (Fats)

Proteins

Alcohol

What is common to all tissues?
Glycogen stores (Some tissues have much more than others)
High protein diets can result in…
Proteins being converted into triglycerides or glycogen which can mean weight gain.
Lipids produce more energy on per carbon basis than carbs or proteins out to which one of the following?
Lipids are more oxidized
Lipids are more reduced than carbs— have more electrons available
lipids have greater molecular weight than carbs
Lipids have a reduced solubility in water
Lipids are more reduced than carbs— have more electrons available
The more oxidized a nutrient is…
the less energy that it can produce
Most oxidized substance is…
CO2 which cannot be reduced and cannot give us energy
If you a mean with 100g of CHO 100 g of fat and 20 g of alcohol how many calories?
1840 Calories/g
Could be the entire caloric need for a day.
