Classification of Food :-
Nutrients & their Functions
Most of the nutrients serve more than one function, and all are essential and available from foods of the major food groups. We can list their functions under the following categories:
Nutrients That Build and Maintain Body Cells
Proteins
Mineral elements
Water
Fats
Carbohydrates
Nutrients That Regulate Body Functions
Water
Vitamins
Mineral Elements
Carbohydrates, including fiber
Nutrients That Provide Energy
Fats
Carbohydrates (starches and sugars)
Proteins
Calories
The number of calories you consume each day is the most important factor in determining whether you put on or lose weight – even more important than the composition (fats vs. carbohydrates vs. protein) of those calories. Your body will begin burning muscle tissue – taking amino acids from the bloodstream and muscle for energy – if you enter a catabolic state. Consuming adequate calories and protein while working out regularly will ensure an anti-catabolic (anabolic) state – the preferred environment for muscle growth.
