问题 1 The three energy-yielding food nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. The amount of energy a food provides depends on how much of each nutrient it contains. When broken down in the body, a gram of carbohydrate and a gram of protein each yield about four kilocalories of energy. A gram of fat yields nine kilocalories; therefore, fat has a greater energy density than either protein or carbohydrates. Foods with a high energy density provide more kilocalories per gram than foods with a low energy density.
2 Different meals may deliver the same number of kilocalories but varying amounts of food energy. For example, a 450-gram breakfast of cereal, milk, fruit, egg, turkey sausage, toast, and jam and a 150-gram breakfast of doughnuts both deliver 500 kilocalories. However, the first breakfast, which is higher in protein, has a lower energy density than the doughnuts and supplies three times as much food energy.
3 During a meal, as food enters the digestive tract, hunger decreases and the body reaches satiation, the signal to stop eating. The nutrient composition of a meal affects the level of satiation the meal provides. Foods low in energy density are more satiating than foods high in energy density. Of the three energy-yielding nutrients, protein is the most satiating and fat is the least satiating. High-fat foods are flavorful, which encourages people to eat more, but they are also energy-dense and deliver more kilocalories per bite. Therefore, eating meals high in fat may lead to overconsumption. [br] What is the relationship between food nutrients and satiation?
选项 A、Some nutrients have no effect on satiation.
B、Foods that taste better are more satiating.
C、High-fat foods give the highest level of satiation.
D、Satiation is lower in energy-dense foods.
答案 D
解析 Satiation is lower in energy-dense foods. Clues:... fat has a greater energy density...; Foods low in energy density are more satiating than foods high in energy density;.. .fat is the least satiating.
