  2. Energy density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density

    The higher the energy density of the fuel, the more energy may be stored or transported for the same amount of volume. The energy of a fuel per unit mass is called its specific energy. The adjacent figure shows the gravimetric and volumetric energy density of some fuels and storage technologies (modified from the Gasoline article).

  4. Empty calories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_calories

    [2] Foods composed mostly of empty calories have low nutrient density, meaning few other nutrients relative to their energy content. [3] Empty calories are more difficult to fit into a diet that is both balanced and within TDEE, and so readily create an unhealthy diet. [4]

  5. Nutrient density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrient_density

    Nutrient density identifies the amount of beneficial nutrients in a food product in proportion to e.g. energy content, weight or amount of perceived detrimental nutrients. Terms such as nutrient rich and micronutrient dense refer to similar properties.

  6. Food energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_energy

    Food energy is chemical energy that animals (including humans) derive from their food to sustain their metabolism, including their muscular activity. [ 1 ] Most animals derive most of their energy from aerobic respiration , namely combining the carbohydrates , fats , and proteins with oxygen from air or dissolved in water . [ 2 ]

  7. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    Energy density is the amount of energy per mass or volume of food. The energy density of a food can be determined from the label by dividing the energy per serving (usually in kilojoules or food calories) by the serving size (usually in grams, milliliters or fluid ounces). An energy unit commonly used in nutritional contexts within non-metric ...

  8. Specific dynamic action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_dynamic_action

    The thermic effect of food is the energy required for digestion, absorption, and disposal of ingested nutrients. Its magnitude depends on the composition of the food consumed: Carbohydrates: 5 to 15% of the energy consumed [7] Protein: 20 to 30% [7] Fats: at most 5 to 15% [8]

  9. Primary nutritional groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_nutritional_groups

    The sources of energy can be light or chemical compounds; the sources of carbon can be of organic or inorganic origin. [ 1 ] The terms aerobic respiration , anaerobic respiration and fermentation ( substrate-level phosphorylation ) do not refer to primary nutritional groups, but simply reflect the different use of possible electron acceptors in ...
