In this nutrition basics class, learners will learn about macronutrients and how they provide us with the essential building blocks for optimal health and energy.

Class experience

1. Understanding the main functions of macronutrients in the body, including their roles in energy production, growth and repair, and regulation of bodily processes.
2. The ability to identify food sources of macronutrients and to create balanced meals that meet individual nutrient needs.
3. Awareness of the potential health consequences of consuming too much or too little of different macronutrients, and how to make changes to diet to address these issues.
4. The ability to interpret nutrition labels and make informed decisions about food choices based on macronutrient content.
Homework Offered
The assignment is to complete a 'Basic Nutrition: Macronutrients Worksheet.' Students must fill out the worksheet by identifying the type of carbohydrate in each food (simple or complex), stating the name of the monosaccharide or disaccharide if the food is mostly made up of simple sugars, and indicating whether the complex food is high in fiber (by writing 'fiber') or low in fiber (by writing 'starch'). They must also identify the macronutrient in each food (carbohydrates, fat, or protein) by writing on the line beneath the picture. Finally, students must write five foods high in saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsaturated fat inside the small arrows. For the multiple-choice part of the assignment, students must choose the best answer and write the corresponding letter on the line provided.
