The Nutrients (cont’d.)
• Six classes of nutrients
– Vitamins, minerals, and water
• Vitamins are organic; minerals and water are
inorganic
• Vitamins facilitate the release of energy
• Minerals help regulate energy release and serve
other roles
• Water: medium for all body processes

The Nutrients (cont’d.)
• kCalories: a measure of energy
– Kilocalorie (kcalorie, kcal): 1000-calorie metric
unit for measuring heat energy; commonly
called “calorie”
– Carbohydrates and protein provide 4 kcal of
energy per gram
– Fat provides 9 kcal of energy per gram

The Nutrients (cont’d.)
• kCalories: a measure of energy
– Energy nutrients in foods
• Most foods have a mixture of all three energy-
yielding nutrients
– Energy storage in the body
