Carbohydrates - Their energy we owe to carbohydrates. They are divided into monosaccharides
and polysaccharides. Simple - monosaccharides - quickly absorbed by the body. Polysaccharides
(complex compounds) provide energy, but at a slower pace than simple.
Monosaccharides - is products containing sucrose (sugar, honey, candies), the fruit, which
contains glucose and fructose, and dairy products (milk, yogurt, fermented baked) in which
there is lactose. Polysaccharides contained in cereals, pasta, vegetables and bread.
Fats - Molecules of fats (lipids) in a composition includes all human tissues. Subcutaneous fat
is a heat insulator and provide a constant body temperature specific. Fats perform the same
function as the carbohydrates that are, provide energy, but are digested much slower and more
difficult. For example, the splitting of 1 g protein and 1 gram of fat is significantly different: the
first allocates only 4 calories (as well as the cleavage of carbohydrates) and fats - 9 calories.
Fats are:
• Saturated (NLC);
• Monounsaturated (MUFA);
• Polyunsaturated (PUFA).
Body gets fat from the outside that is with food. Most of them are found in meat and dairy
products, nuts and eggs. It is smaller in vegetable oil and butter, including margarine.
How much is the daily rate of fat, protein, carbohydrates for humans? It is believed that
protein intake per day should be 1.2 g per kilogram of body weight, in contrast to fats and carbohydrates; the demand depends on the energy expenditure of the individual. The more
intense muscle work, the more they need to consume.
