There are three Macronutrients that your body needs to get from food for energy and for survival. They are carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Everything that you eat falls into one of these three categories. Your body needs all three. In order to optimize energy levels and health it is important to get all three in each meal that you eat.
Common sources of carbohydrates - starchy foods (like grain, bread, cereals and potatoes), fruits, milk, and yogurt. Other foods like vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and cottage cheese contain carbohydrates, but in lesser amounts.
Common Sources of proteins meats, poultry, fish, meat substitutes, cheese, milk, nuts, legumes, and in smaller quantities in starchy foods and vegetables.
Common Sources of fat meat, poultry, nuts, milk products, butters and margarines, oils, lard, olive oil, avocados, nuts, and coconut oil.
After looking over your nutritional habits from the last blog, it obvious that many of us are well fueled with carbohydrates. Some of us are getting a little bit of protein and very few of us eat much fat at all. For this week blog I want you to look back at your three meal from last blog. Look at the meals you ate and see if there is a carbohydrate source, a fat source, and a protein source for each meal. Let me know if you are deficient and where.
I believe that i am deficient in sources of fat. I will try to eat more meats, and milk products.

As far as I can guess, I am only missing a fat in my breakfast. Otherwise, I think I'm getting a good balance at each meal.

I think I get plenty of Carbs from breads, Protein from Meats, but I am a little lagging in Fats, so maybe I can add more milk.

I have a good amount of carbohydrates, and some good amount of protein, but Fat is my defecient, and I need to add some more.
ReplyDeleteMason Oliver
My carbs come from breads, crackers, and cereal. i get my protein from meats and fish, and protein supplements. some foods i eat are cooked with oil, and i eat lots of nuts, this is were i get my fats. However i do beleive i need to eat more fats as i lack fat in my body.
