Food contains three main categories of compounds: carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Arctic explorers often eat a high-fat diet because fats have a high food value. The average food values for carbohydrate, protein, and fat are 4 Cal/g, 4 Cal/g, and 9 Cal/g, respectively. Consider a typical fat to have the chemical formula C18H36O2, glucose (C6H12O6) to be a representative carbohydrate, and the amino acid alanine (C3H6NO2) a building block of proteins. Express the food values given above in kJ/mol.
How many grams of proteins provide the same fuel value as 25 g fat?
The primary use of ingested proteins in the body is to _____.
be broken down into amino acids that are used to build proteins and nucleic acids within the body
be broken down to release energy and the unused components are recycled to build new proteins within the body
interact with signaling molecules to trigger the building of muscle fibers
be converted to starches or sugars, which are more readily accessible forms of energy

But now we know that not all fat is the same. By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in your diet, you can improve your mood, boost your energy and well-being, and even lose weight. Since fat is an important part of a healthy diet, rather than adopting a low-fat diet, it’s more important to focus on eating more beneficial “good” fats and limiting harmful “bad” fats. What is their experience with the health risks associated with ‘bad fat’ intake for example obesity, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, cancer, etc.? Why is eating healthy so important? What are are recommendations for maintaining a healthy diet of ‘good fats’? What's the deal with fats?arrow_forwardAssume that an apple contains 22 g of carbohydrates and has no fat or protein.
