1100 Unit 1 Homework Solution
Introduction
In
Chapters 3 and 4 of the textbook, you learned that the body needs various macro
and micronutrients in order to function properly. You also learned about
cellular metabolism and what the human body uses as a fuel source. This all
seems simple at first glance; however, it can be difficult to determine whether
we are getting what our body needs. Even when we know what our body needs, it
becomes even more difficult to make sure we are supplying our body with those
needs. The car you drive probably requires gasoline in order to function
properly. When you need to go somewhere, you make sure you have enough gasoline
in the tank to reach your destination. If you do not, you probably stop at a
gas station and fill your car’s tank with gas. You do not pour cola in the tank
or jelly donuts; you put gas because that is what it needs. Why do we put cola
and jelly donuts in our bodies when we do not need them? Often, it is difficult
to determine what is in the foods that we eat. Sometimes it is hard to
determine if the food contains the correct nutrients or processed foods that
our body does not need. This lab exercise will help you learn how to read
nutritional labels and determine what your body needs to function properly.
Objectives
1. Analyze
nutritional information based on what the body needs to function properly.
2. Calculate
BMI and learn about caloric balance.

need to write down everything that you eat and drink for an entire day. Make
sure you record everything, and divide the foods into breakfast, lunch, dinner,
and snacks. If you do not write down everything, you will have to try to think
back and remember what you have eaten for entire day; make sure you include the
full 24 hours. Try to pick a typical day. If you are going to a party or have
to fast for a lab test, pick a different day.
