Guest guest Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Harry, I've always been unclear about calories. The percentages you mentioned concerning the 3 principle foods (carbohydrate, protein, and fat) was helpful, but then you mention " excess glucose calories, " and that added to my confusion. So, Harry the scientist and chemist (smile>, how about a little more explanation about calories! Dave " ...In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. " [ 16:33] metabolism review Every gram of food you consume is converted by your liver into glucose. Glucose is the simplest organic sugar there is, and it is the only sugar utilized by each cell in your body for energy. Pure glucose is tasteless or at least it was when I took organic chemistrry. Each food source, carbohydrate, protein and fat produces energy in the form of calories. Each food converts a single gram into caloric energy as noted below. carbohydrates is converted at the rate of 100% into glucose at the conversion factor of 4 calories per gram. protein is converted into calories at the rate of 50-60% at the factor of 4 calories per gram. fat is converted into calories at the rate of 10% to yield 9 calories per gram. All excess glucose calories not used by the body is converted to fat with the help of insulin, the storage hormone. There are several metabolism pathways, and I do not know their names, but the MRT (mediators release test) identifies several of them. This test is supposed to identify whether or not you have a food allergy or food sensitivity like lactose or gluten.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 By excess calories, I am pretty sure he meant the glucose that your body does not need for energy.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Okay Dave, You know how I like formulas and rules of thumb, so here is one. For each pound of body it takes 10 calories to maintain that body weight. If you weigh 200 pounds it would take 200 times 10 equals 2000 calories for you to maintain a body weight of 200 pounds. It takes 3500 calories to equal one pound. Exdess calories not used by the body is converted to fat by the use of Insulin, the storage hormone. So if you weigh 200 pounds it would take 2000 calories for you to maintain that weight. If instead you consumed 2350 calories then you would convert the excess glucose to fat, or you would gain one poune. If on the other hand if you only consumed 1650 calories, you would loose one pound. Most people miscalculate the calories by not knowing that 28 grams of anything makes an ounce, and they don't know how to figure grams of carbs, grams of progein and grams of fat into calories. Hth, Harry Time prevents all things from happening at once. metabolism review Every gram of food you consume is converted by your liver into glucose.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Nurse Pat, Geez, I have not heard that since my Freshman college chemistry course. (LOLLOLLOLLOL) I think it is something like a calorie represents the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degreeC? Holy Moly, that poor old brain storage cell had moss on it.

So one gram of glucose is equal to 4 calories. I have forgotten the exact definition of a calories , but I believe it is something like " one calories will burn enough to raise the temperature a certain amount of degrees. _____ From: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of dave Bond Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 6:31 PM To: blind-diabetics <mailto:blind-diabetics%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: metabolism review But what is the relationship of a measure of one calorie to one measure of glucose? Dave " ...In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. " [ 16:33] metabolism review Every gram of food you consume is converted by your liver into glucose. Glucose is the simplest organic sugar there is, and it is the only sugar utilized by each cell in your body for energy. Pure glucose is tasteless or at least it was when I took organic chemistrry. Each food source, carbohydrate, protein and fat produces energy in the form of calories. Each food converts a single gram into caloric energy as noted below. carbohydrates is converted at the rate of 100% into glucose at the conversion factor of 4 calories per gram. protein is converted into calories at the rate of 50-60% at the factor of 4 calories per gram. fat is converted into calories at the rate of 10% to yield 9 calories per gram. All excess glucose calories not used by the body is converted to fat with the help of insulin, the storage hormone. There are several metabolism pathways, and I do not know their names, but the MRT (mediators release test) identifies several of them. This test is supposed to identify whether or not you have a food allergy or food sensitivity like lactose or gluten.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 It appears to be a straight line linear relationship. But what do I know. I doubt all of my data, and this is the reason I check it over until I get the same results at least three times in a row. hth, Harry metabolism review Every gram of food you consume is converted by your liver into glucose.
