Because proteins are complex molecules,
the body takes longer to break them down
...

If the body is getting enough calories, it
does not use protein for energy

Proteins are organic compounds, made by joining amino
acids into long chains called polypeptides
...


Amino Acids are composed of
carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen
and sometimes sulfure

Essential or indispensable
◦ Body cannot make
◦ Must be supplied by the diet



Nonessential or dispensable
◦ Body may make



Conditionally or acquired indispensable

◦ When a dispensable AA becomes indispensable with
improper organ function
◦ Ex: Tyrosine and cysteine

Hormones
◦ serotonin
◦ adrenaline

 Antibodies

System

& Immune

◦ impaired immune system with protein deficiency

 Fluid
◦ albumin
◦ edema

Balance

 Acid-Base Balance
◦ buffer
◦ acidosis & alkalosis
 Energy

& Glucose

◦ amino acids can be converted into glucose
(required for CNS/brain function)

 starvation
 low carbohydrate diets

◦ body cannibalizes body proteins to make glucose

Daily

protein needs

◦ Quantity of protein
◦ Quality of protein

Protein

Quality

◦ How well a protein meets the
body’s need for health, growth,
etc…
 Digestibility
 Amino acid composition

 Essential Amino Acids composition

◦ Is there a protein problem?


Plant proteins are “Incomplete proteins”

 Complementary

◦ Example: Mexican Food
 Tortilla: low lysine, hi methionine
 Beans: low in methionine, hi lysine

Health benefits
Environmental concerns about meat based
diets
Animal welfare/ethical considerations
Economic reasons
World hunger issues
Religious beliefs

 Non-red

meat
vegetarian
◦ poultry, fish, dairy, eggs OK



Nutritional Benefits



Nutritional Concerns

◦ Less fat, saturated fat, cholesterol

◦ no special nutritional problems
◦ May not be any better than typical US diet
 may be high in fat, sat’d fat, salt
 cooking methods
 junk foods, convenience foods

 Lacto-ovo vegetarian
◦ Milk & eggs OK
 Nutritional

Benefits

 Nutritional

Concerns

◦ Like non-meat vegetarians

◦ No special nutritional problems
◦ May be high in fats, sat’d fats
 cheese & eggs





Strict Vegetarian: Vegan
◦ no animal foods
Nutritional Benefits
◦ Low fats, high fiber, plant-based
Nutritional Concerns
◦ protein quality
 probably OK, quantity may be an issue
◦ calcium
 no dairy, plant sources (leafy greens, soy),
fortified foods (soy, rice milk)
◦ iron
 no meat, plant sources (leafy greens), cereals
◦ vitamin B-12
 probably OK, cereals & supplements

 Protein

- Energy
Malnutrition
◦ > 500 million children with
PEM
◦ 33,000 die per day with PEM

 Two

major forms of PEM

◦Kwashiorkor
◦Marasmus

 Kwashiorkor

◦ Ghana “the evil spirit that infects
the first child when the second
child is born”




Protein low, Calories OK
Symptoms
◦ edema
◦ enlarged fatty liver
◦ light colored hair

 low tyrosine/melanin

◦ skin lesions

 Marasmus


Both Protein and Calories
low
◦ inadequate food intake



Symptoms

◦ wasting of lean and fat tissue
◦ weak, anemic, low metabolism
◦ death due to secondary
infections

Example of athlete’s protein needs
 175 lb = 80 kg athlete

◦ 80 kg x 1
...

3500 Cal/d x 15%Pro = 525 Cal Pro
◦ 525 Cal P / 4 Cal/gPro =

5 gPRO/kg BW

 175 lbs = 80kg = 96-120gP/day
 If 3000 Cal diet = 13-16% of Calories



Adequate energy, especially Carbs
◦ 6-7g CHO/kg BW

 175 lbs = 480 –560 g CHO
 If 3000 Cal diet = 64% - 75%
