What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are simple or complex structures
made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Simple carbohydrates are small molecules,
mainly 5 or 6 carbon molecules. Complex structures may be hundreds or
thousands of glucose molecules, together with components such as lipids, nitrogen, or protein.
Heparin and mucopolysaccharides are examples of complex carbohydrates.

What are carbohydrates? Glucose is the simplest carbohydrate unit. It is a monosaccharide.

What are carbohydrates? Table sugar, or sucrose, is an example of a
disaccaride. It is made up of two simple sugar units

What are carbohydrates? Complex carbohydrates are made of
many hundreds and thousands of glucose units.
Fiber is indigestible carbohydrate due to the bond structure between glucose units.

Functions of carbohydrates As fuel Sparing protein Helping fat breakdown Provide dietary fiber
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 8
Carbohydrates as fuel All starches, saccharides, and mixed carbohydrates
are converted to simplest form, glucose. Glucose is the most common type of energy
currency used by the cells, in addition to fatty acids, and at times, ketones (heart).
In carbohydrate excess, and when working out
In energy excess
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 9
Carbohydrates as fuel The brain uses mainly glucose for
energy. Our brains alone use about 120 grams of carbohydrate for energy.
The muscle cells use mainly fat for energy at rest, and glucose under high aerobic conditions such as running.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 10
Sparing protein Adequate carbohydrate intake. ~15 percent of energy. Efficient energy source.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 11
Sparing proteinInadequate
carbohydrate intake leads to: Break down of
body protein Body protein being
used for energy
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 12
Helping fat breakdown When a diet is low in carbohydrates, fats
are not broken down completely. We produce ketone bodies.
Ketone bodies can accumulate in the bloodstream and cause blood to become more acidic than normal. This can happen in diabetes as well.
Severe ketosis can cause coma and death.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 13
Helping fat breakdown For complete fat breakdown and to
prevent ketone bodies from building in the bloodstream, we should consume about 50 to 65 percent of calories (majority of energy) from carbohydrates.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 14
Providing dietary fiber Plants: a source of dietary fiber. Aids digestion.
Insulation for intestinal wall. It helps speed elimination. It binds harmful molecules in the intestines.
Dietary fiber can help prevent chronic diseases and can help in weight control.

Digestion of FoodDigestion of FoodBreakdown of carbohydratesBreakdown of carbohydrates
We consume foods that are mixes of protein, fat and carbohydrate.
Digestion is breaking foods down to its components
After breaking food down, we absorb the small molecules.

Table sugar(sucrose)
Fructose
Table sugar is broken down into glucose and fructose by an enzyme found in the small intestine.
Milk sugar(lactose)
Galactose
Milk sugar is broken down into glucose and galactose by an enzyme (lactase) in the small intestine.Pennington Biomedical Research Center 17

Types of carbohydrates: simple Sugar is found naturally in many foods. It is also called
simple carbohydrate. Food sources of natural sugar include fruit, vegetables, milk, and yogurt.
Foods containing natural sugars are nutritious, providing many vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals (natural plant chemicals), and antioxidants. They are also good sources of fiber, as in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Examples of refined sugars are: sucrose, glucose, dextrose, maltose, and high fructose corn syrup.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 20
Simple Carbohydrates Sugar is also added
to many foods in the form of white table sugar (sucrose), honey, corn syrup, or fructose.
Foods high in added sugars are often referred to as sources of "empty calories," meaning they provide few vitamins, minerals, or fiber.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 21
Types of carbohydrates: Complex Starch, also known as complex
carbohydrate or polysaccharide, is present in foods such as cereals, whole grains, rice, pasta, potatoes, peas, corn, and legumes. Complex carbohydrates are very large molecules that take some time to digest. Starch is an example of a digestible carbohydrate.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 22
Complex CarbohydratesComplex Carbohydrates Examples of complex
carbohydrates are amylose, amylopectin, starch, and cellulose.
Food sources of complex carbohydrates are important contributors of: vitamins, minerals, fiber, and a host of phytonutrients.
When choosing grain food choices, it is important to choose whole grains often.

Types of carbohydrates: Complex Some carbohydrates are indigestible. The
stalk from many plants, outer skin of fruits and vegetables, and outer layer of wheat are indigestible. It is referred to as Dietary Fiber.
Fiber, also a complex carbohydrate, is found in foods of plant origin.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 25
Types of Dietary FiberTypes of Dietary FiberInsoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber doesn't
dissolve in water. Mainly ‘roughage.’ Will speed up food passing though the intestinal track. Sources are whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts, and many vegetables.
Soluble fiber. Dissolves in water. Mainly slows down digestion within the intestinal tack and slows glucose absorption. Sources are oats, peas, beans, apples, citrus fruits, carrots, barley, and psyllium.
Dietary fiber includes all parts of plant that your body can’t digest or absorb.
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 26
The Role of FiberThe Role of FiberThe amount of each type of fiber varies in different plant foods,
so to receive the greatest health benefit, it is important to eat a wide variety of high-fiber foods.
Fiber can prevent the development of:Fiber can prevent the development of:constipation

Fiber can benefit: •By slowing the absorption of sugar •In weight loss

What to have? Simple or What to have? Simple or Complex?Complex?
The new food guide encourages the consumption of complexcomplex carbohydrates over simple simple carbohydrates.
It says that “half our grains should be whole grains.”
Complex Complex carbohydrates are found in foods encouraged by the 2010 DGA such as: Whole grainsWhole grains FruitsFruits VegetablesVegetables

Simple or Complex?Simple or Complex? Foods with a lot of simple
carbohydrates are also sometimes called energy-energy-dense:dense: they provide calories (energy) from added sugars and fats and little nutrients.
Foods with complex Foods with complex carbohydrates are calledcarbohydrates are called nutrient-dense: nutrient-dense: they are lower in calories (and fat) and packed with nutrients.

refined grains, the most important consideration was the glycemic indexglycemic index (GI) of carbohydrate-containing foods.

The 2010 DGA indicate thatThe 2010 DGA indicate that
Before you eat, think about what goes on your plate or in your cup or bowl. Foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and lean protein foods contain the nutrients you need without too many calories.
Improving what you eat and being active will help to reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and obesity.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans The Dietary Guidelines for Americans tell us to:tell us to:
Strive for making at least halfat least half of the grains that we eat whole grains

How much do I need?
The recommended intake for children, adolescent, and adult males and females is at least 130 130 grams/daygrams/day..
How do I know how much foods to have?
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 35
How much do I need? A typical diet contains from 50 to 65
percent of energy from carbohydrates. We can find out how many grams of
carbohydrate that is on a 2200 Calorie diet using 50% intake from carbohydrates:
2200 Cal x 50% = 1100 Cal 100 %
1100 Cal = 275 grams of carbohydrate 4 Cal/g Calculate the upper limit using the same format!
Pennington Biomedical Research Center 36
Summary Carbohydrates can be either simple or
complex. Carbohydrates have several functions in
the body. The recommendation is to have half the
grains as whole grains. How much carbohydrates to have depends
on the caloric intake.
