URBS 359 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Trans Fat, Refined Grains, Saturated Fat
Document Summary
Eating pattern- customary intakes of food and beverage combinations over time. Nutrition does not depend on the selection of one food, but rather, your overall eating pattern over a long period of time. The more nutrients and the fewer kcalories, the higher the nutrient density. Milligrams of nutrient/kcal the more milligrams per kcal, the greater the nutrient density. Empty-kcalorie foods- foods notably low in nutrient density (chips, candy, colas) that deliver energy with little or no protein, vitamins, or minerals. Nutrient profiling- ranking foods based on their overall nutrient composition: moderation- providing enough but not too much of a substance. Solid fats- fats that are not usually liquid at room temperature; commonly found in most foods derived from animals and vegetable oils that have been hydrogenated; solid fats typically contain more saturated and trans fats than most oils. Different foods within the same group contain different arrays of nutrients.
