Balanced diet – The overall dietary pattern of foods consumed that provide all the essential nutrients in the appropriate amounts to support life processes, such as growth in children without promoting excess weight.
“Diet”-The kind of food that we eat and drink regularly.
A balance diet containsi.Carbohydratesii.Proteinsiii.Vitaminsiv.Mineral saltsv.Fibervi.water
Functions of the important food classes
1. Carbohydrates-supply energy
2. Proteins- Provide materials for growth and repair.
3. Fats- Provide energy and stores excess food.Soluble

5.Mineral salts-For healthy teeth, bones, musles,.etc.
6. Dietary fiber-Help intestine to function, properly.

1. Milk, and Milk products (little bit)
2. Meat, Fish, Eggs, nuts, Beans (20%)
3. Vegetables and Fruits (20%)
4. Rice, Bread, Cereals ( 60%)
Table 1:Factor effecting daily energy requirement of the human body
Bil Factor Effect Reason
1. Age -Children and young (21 years) need more energy.-Old and aged people need less energy
-A high metabolic rate is needed to produce extra energy for physical growth- Metabolism slow down
2. Body Size
-Person same sex and age need more energy compare smaller build
-More energy for basal metabolism and smaller build
3. Sex -Men have high metabolism then women
-Tend to be bigger, and more actively
4. Genetic -Genetic disposition -Metabolic rate influence by your genes
5. Occupation
-Heavy and active work need more energy.
-Higher energy requirement
6. Climate -Living in cold countries need more energy to maintain body temperature compared to those living in the tropics.
-More heat lost to surroundings in colder countries
7. Pregnancy
-Pregnant women require more energy than non-pregnant women
-Higher metabolic rate is required to support the energy requirements of the mother and developing fetus
Definition of energy value of food:
The energy produced when 1 gram of food is completely combusted
Measured in units of joule per gram (J/g) or kilojoules per gram (kJ/g)How to calculate energy value in food sample???
Energy release: Q=mct
Q= Heatm=massc= heat capacity 4.2J/goCt=temperature
energy Value (J/g)=Mass of water (g) x Temperature rise (oC) x 4.2 J/goCMass of Food (g)

Diet – kinds of food we eat and drink regularly
Balanced diet – contains carbohydrates, proteins, fats vitamins, mineral salts, fibres & water in the correct proportions
Energy , Q = mct m = mass c = 4.2 J/g0C t = temperature
