Food and Efficiency
The brain needs oxygen to function effectively
Because of their chemical structure, fats need a plentiful supply of oxygen to be digested
Therefore, a meal high in fatwill redirect oxygen from thebrain to the stomach

Food
Proteins Carbohydrates
– Starches – Dietary Fiber– Sugars
Fats– Saturated– Unsaturated
How do you determine calorie content of a
food?
Carbohydrates (grams) X 4 = 40 Protein (grams) X 4 = 40 Fats (grams) X 9 = 90
If a food has 10 grams of protein, 10 grams of carbohydrates and 10 grams of fat, how many calories does it have?
How many calories do you need daily?
Sedentary (spend most of the day sitting at a desk)– Multiply your weight by 13
Moderately active (Walking or standing most of the day or 30 - 60 minutes of aerobic exercise most days)– Multiply your weight by 15
How many calories do you need daily?
Very Active (Very physical weight or athletic levels of fitness activity)– Multiply your weight by 17
How much fat should bein your daily diet?
1. Pick a Healthy Weight For Yourself– This can be your current weight if you are pleased with it, or, if you'd like to lose weight, the target weight that you are trying to attain.
How much fat?
2. Some Simple Calculations– Divide your healthy weight by 3.
The answer equals the grams of fat that are 20 percent of your total daily calories.
– Divide your healthy weight by 2. This answer equals the grams of fat that are 30 percent of your total daily calories.
How much fat?
3. You should try to keep your daily fat intake between these two numbers for a healthy diet. The closer you can get to the lower number the better.
How much fat?
Note: The above calculations assume you are moderately active on most days. But if you spend most of your days sitting or behind a desk you should subtract 7 from the lower number and subtract 10 from the top number.
