_____________________________________

This video covers Chapter 4: The Carbohydrates — Sugar, Starch, Glycogen, and Fiber, which begins our journey into the three macronutrients.

The learning objectives for this lesson are to:

• Examine the four types of carbohydrates
• Explain why carbohydrates are needed in the diet
• Discuss nutrition recommendations for carbohydrates
• Explore the basics of carbohydrate metabolism, emphasizing digestion, absorption, and storage

This course follows Sizer and Whitney's Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies, 16th edition, but I've made adjustments by skipping and rearranging some of the material and adding my own images and information.
