Carbohydrates - Lindsy Whitehead

Carbohydrates 

• Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products.
• Provides short term energy
• Structure and support 
• Subunit: Sugars
• Examples: Glucose, Starch, Cellulose, and Glycogen 

Summary: 

Carbohydrates are the main source of fuel for your body, making them an important part of your everyday diet. 

I learned that between 45 and 65 percent of your daily calories need to come from carbohydrates to provide enough energy to support everyday functions. 

I also learned that not all carbohydrates provide energy, for example, fiber is a complex type of carbohydrate that you need in your diet everyday but instead of breaking down it helps regulate you.
