energy in the body's need for activityEnergy foods are those that produce the energy required to perform various daily physical activity (walking, running, sports, etc.). In this group we find food: pasta, rice, bakery products (bread, cookies, etc), sweets, honey, oils, nuts (almonds, walnuts, chestnuts, etc), raisins and sugar.

When the main energy need, it is best to combine all three-food groups: those with a large supply of energy, those who favor the growth and formation of muscle mass and finally to make it easier to absorb two previous groups.

The energy foods are carbohydrates such as rice and pasta and its derivatives, sugars, oils and nuts. Those who are actively involved in bone development and muscle are meat and fish, eggs, vegetables and dairy products. This group is known as plastic foods or construction.

It is called food regulators that help to assimilate the two previous groups and regulate the functioning of the whole organism. This group consists of fruits and vegetables. An example of this group are bananas, which at three natural sugars-sucrose, fructose and glucose, producing energy and when combined with fiber lead to increased and sustained major instant energy. Several studies have shown that two bananas provide enough energy to sustain a vigorous effort for 90 minutes and this is not everything. Bananas do not lose nutritional qualities collected after as with other fruits and vegetables that have thinner skin.

Within the energy, foods are those that are rich in fats and carbohydrates. Fats: This nutrient gives more energy. For each gram provides about 9 kilocalories.
