The food we eat should contain the following nutrients: proteins, fats and carbohydrates, water, mineral salts and vitamins. In some foods these substances are more, and in others - less or absent. Proteins, fats and carbohydrates supply energy to our body and build it, and vitamins, water and minerals help it to да
Proteins
Our body is made of proteins like bricks make brick houses. Proteins give us energy so we can study, play, do sports.
Which foods contain the most protein?
milk, cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, meat, beans, green beans, lentils, potatoes, walnuts, hazelnuts.
Carbohydrate
Carbohydrates are substances that give us energy. If we eat foods rich in carbohydrates, but do not use their energy (we do not move, do not solve tasks or do sports), then they turn into fat.
Which foods contain the most protein?
whole grain bread, oats, corn, potatoes, beans, fruits, vegetables, sugar, chocolate, jam, candy, sugar-sweetened beverages.
Fat
Fat also builds our body. They coat it by forming a fatty tissue that protects it from getting cold or too hot in the same way that people insulate their homes. Fats contain twice as much energy as carbohydrates and proteins. However, this energy is used by our body only as a last resort, when we have not eaten for a long time.
Which foods contain the most fat?
butter, lard, cream, meat, sausages, fried fish, nuts, oil, chips.
