Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products. • Protein Foods - All foods made from meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products, nuts, and seeds are considered part of the Protein Foods Group. • Dairy - All fluid milk products and many foods made from milk are considered part of this food group. Most Dairy Group choices should be fat-free or low-fat. Foods made from milk that retain their calcium content are part of the group 2) Identify sources of essential nutrients • Carbohydrates - fruits, breads and grains, starchy vegetables and sugars • Protein – meat, fish, cheese, tofu, beans, lentils, yogurt, nuts, and seeds • Fat – omega-3-rich foods like fish, walnuts and vegetable-based oils • Vitamins –citrus fruits, strawberries and peppers • Minerals –bananas, potatoes and tomatoes.
Unit 672 Promote nutrition and hydration in health and social care settings Hazel Marsh 1.1 There are main food groups which an individual must include in their diet in order for it to be balanced, they consist of; * Fruit and vegetables * Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, and other starchy foods * Meat, fish, eggs, beans, and other non-dairy sources of protein * Milk and dairy foods * Food and drinks high in fat and/or
“Calories are calories…protein is protein,” as stated by Michael Pollen in his book, The Omnivores Dilemma, when discussing the industrial logic many factory farms associate with feeding cattle corn and rendered cow parts (Pollen, 2006, p.75). This is true at a molecular level; however, there are unwanted substances in corn fed beef. For example, there is an increased amount of saturated fat. “A growing body of research suggests that many of the health problems associated with eating beef are really problems with corn-fed beef” (Pollen p. 75). Adding in additional substances to the cows corn diet, such as remnant cow parts, has led to e-coli out breaks in humans and continued to spread mad cow disease.
A turkey and cheese sandwich would be divided into three categories: protein, carbs, and fat. The bread would be carbs, the turkey protein, and the cheese fat. This is how the process would go for each nutrient: Carbohydrates The digestion of carbohydrates starts in your mouth. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase. Amylase breaks down amylase and amylopectin (which are starches found commonly in foods such as pasta) and converts some of the starch maltose (a disaccharide.)
A great alternative to these products is organic or farm grown foods. E. coli, salmonella, and many other types of food poisonings are on the rise in the United States. Cows develop E. coli disease because of their strict diet of corn, and because they stand in each other’s manure all day. This is a direct result of the decrease in the amount of food inspections in industries and bigger processing plants. Today, there are only a few processing plants that process cow meats in the United States.
Unit 4222-672 Promote nutrition and hydration in health and social acre setting Outcome 1 Understand what makes up a balanced diet 1) Define the main food groups • Fruit • Vegetables • Meat or pulses • Cereals • Dairy • Fats • Sugar 2) Identify the sources of essential nutrients • Carbohydrates can be found in foods such as fruit, vegetables, whole wheat products, potatoes, rice, cereals, pasta, bread etc • Proteins can be supplied through meats, poultry, fish, dairy products, pulses, Soya bean etc • Fats can be founding substances such as olive oil, nuts, lean meat and fish etc • Vitamins (A, B, C, D, E and K) can be found in fruit, vegetables, and dairy products. •
Corn and soy. Because price to produce them were low and was produced a lot. Corn is also a main ingredient in food additives including Cellulose, Xylitol, Ethylene, Gluten, Fibersol-2, Citrus Cloud Emulsion, Inositol, Fructose, Calcium Stearate, Saccharin, Sucrose, Sorbitol, High Fructose, Corn Syrup, Citric Acid, Di-glycerides, Semolina, Ascorbic Acid, Ethyl Lactate, Xanthan Gum, White Vinegar, Ethel Acetate, Ascorbic Acid, Baking Powder, Vanilla Extract, Margarine, and Starch. Larry Johnson states that 90% of food contains either corn or soy or sometimes even both. 2.
It is believed by many that pasture-based cattle contribute to healthy eating. Using our grasslands, which is a natural process, creates a foundation for raising grass-fed cattle (Clancy & Pollan, 2006). An animal’s diet can profoundly influence the nutrient content of its products. In a comparison, beef from grain-fed cattle only contain 15 to 50 percent as much omega-3s and are higher in calories and fat content, specifically saturated fat. As herbivores, cows are intended to graze.
My intake of meat and beans is the equivalent to 3.2 ounces. The recommendation for me is five ounces which is 1.8 ounces higher than what I already consume. Meat and beans are a good source of protein. Protein also exists in poultry, fish, and nuts. Vegetable sources of protein, such as beans, nuts, and whole grains, are excellent choices, and they offer healthy fiber, vitamins and minerals.
Nutrients Bacteria, like all living things, need nutrients to survive. Different types of food-poisoning bacteria can live on a range of foods, but most prefer food that is moist and high in protein such as meat, poultry, eggs, shellfish, milk and dairy products, cooked rice, pasta, or any product made from these foods. All these foods are subject to bacterial growth even after they have been cooked and served cold later. This is why such ready-to-eat items are classified as high-risk
