Basal Metabolic Rate: the rate at which the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going, such as breathing and keeping warm.
Calories: a unit of energy equivalent to the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 °C (now often defined as equal to 4.1868 joules).
Carbohydrates: any of a large group of organic compounds that includes sugars, starch, and cellulose, containing hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water (2:1) and used as structural materials and for energy storage within living tissues.
Cholesterol: a compound of the sterol type found in most body tissues. Cholesterol and its derivatives are important constituents of cell membranes and precursors of other steroid compounds, but a high proportion in the blood of low-density lipoprotein (which transports cholesterol to the tissues) is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease.
Diabetes: a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels
Dietary Fiber: non-digestible carbohydrates that are found in plants and play an essential role in maintaining a healthy digestive system
Digestive system: a group of organs that break down food into nutrients for energy, growth, and repair, while also processing waste
Electrolytes: minerals that carry an electric charge when dissolved in body fluids like blood and water
Fats: a natural oily or greasy substance occurring in animal bodies, especially when deposited as a layer under the skin or around certain organs.
Macronutrients: essential nutrients that the body requires in large quantities to function properly
Metabolism: the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life.
Micronutrients: essential nutrients required by the body in small amounts for growth, development, and maintaining overall health
Minerals: a solid inorganic substance of natural occurrence
Nutrients: a substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life."fish is a source of many important nutrients, including protein, vitamins, and minerals"
Protein: any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that have large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms, especially as structural components of body tissues such as muscle, hair, etc., and as enzymes and antibodies.
Saturated Fat: a type of fat containing a high proportion of fatty acid molecules without double bonds, considered to be less healthy in the diet than unsaturated fat.
Trans Fat: a type of unsaturated fat that have a specific chemical structure
Unsaturated Fat :a type of unsaturated fat that have a specific chemical structure
Vitamins: any of a group of organic compounds which are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body.
Water: a colorless, transparent, odorless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.
