 1. Why is it important to track down our food intake and make a daily food journal?
- Writing down what you eat is like seeing a day’s worth of food laid out before you.
You can identify your good habits (such as eating three daily meals and choosing
healthy snacks) and your bad habits (such as unhealthy snacking all day and
drinking mostly sugary drinks).
Analysis 2. What are macromolecules?
- When we eat food, we take in the large biological molecules found in the food,
including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids (such as fats), and nucleic acids (such as
DNA), and use them to power our cells and build our bodies.
3. What are the macromolecules found in food?
- Carbohydrates, nucleic acid, proteins
Your body needs food for energy, growth and repair and as a source of substances for body
processes. Different types of food provide different nutrients. The Food and Nutrition Research
Institute (FNRI) has developed a food pyramid for Filipinos, a simple and easy to follow daily
eating guide. This guide is useful in helping people select food that supply all the nutrients for
energy and growth. The figure shows a food pyramid which illustrates the recommended
dietary allowance for teenagers.
Foods that contain the same type
of nutrient belong to a food group.
Foods have been divided into five
groups – a) rice, rice products,
corn, root crops, bread, noodles;
b) fruits and vegetables; d) milk
Abstraction
and milk products, eggs, fish,
shellfish, meat and poultry, dried
beans and nuts; and e) sugar and
sweets, fats and oil. The
recommended daily amount for
each food group will supply your
body with the nutrients it needs
for good health.

Determine if your food intake adequately meets nutritional requirements by making a food
Application plate. Explain whether the correct food plate is followed.
