Nutrition
No matter whether you are trying to lose weight, build muscle or simply want to live a healthier lifestyle the key to your success is nutrition. The foods that we eat provide our bodies with energy or Kilojoules (Kj), which are important for providing energy for daily activities. We need a wide variety of different foods to provide the right amounts of nutrients for good health, including protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals to live, grow and function properly. Food energy is measured in kilojoules (kJ). The common term for this used to be ‘calorie’, but ‘kilojoule’ is the term that is now generally accepted in the world of fitness. This unit of measurement allows us to talk about how much energy a particular food contains and how much energy is burned up during exercise. There are 1,000 (small) calories in one (large) Calorie, which is why it is also sometimes known as a ‘kilocalorie’.
4.184 kilojoules = 4,184 joules = 1 Calorie = 1 kilocalorie = 1,000 calories
There are six classes of nutrients required for the body to function and maintain overall health. These are carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins, water, vitamins, and minerals.
The average adult requires approximately 8,700 Kilojoules (Kj) per day
