00:00.740 --> 00:02.890
diet directly affects energy balance

00:02.890 --> 00:04.890
because it determines the number of

00:04.890 --> 00:06.946
calories that the body takes in . If

00:06.946 --> 00:08.946
the calories taken in from food and

00:08.946 --> 00:11.223
drink aren't used to physical activity ,

00:11.223 --> 00:13.501
the result is a lack of energy balance .

00:13.501 --> 00:15.612
Let's check in with dr Bethea to find

00:15.612 --> 00:17.834
out more about diet and obesity . Thank

00:17.834 --> 00:20.001
you . Dr phillips . The body needs six

00:20.001 --> 00:22.112
nutrients to stay healthy , including

00:22.112 --> 00:25.700
carbohydrates , proteins , fats ,

00:26.540 --> 00:30.340
minerals , vitamins and water

00:30.350 --> 00:32.720
of these nutrients . Carbohydrates ,

00:32.720 --> 00:35.040
proteins and fats provide calories ,

00:35.050 --> 00:36.939
carbohydrates and proteins . Each

00:36.939 --> 00:39.106
provides four calories program . While

00:39.106 --> 00:41.350
fats provide nine calories program ,

00:41.360 --> 00:43.850
that means high in fat are also high in

00:43.850 --> 00:46.150
calories . But it doesn't mean that fat

00:46.160 --> 00:47.938
free food is necessary . Low in

00:47.938 --> 00:50.390
calories taking in too many calories

00:50.390 --> 00:53.210
can happen in one of two ways eating

00:53.210 --> 00:55.430
too much food or eating too many high

00:55.440 --> 00:58.340
calorie foods in the United States

00:58.350 --> 01:00.870
oversight food portions are common in

01:00.870 --> 01:03.210
restaurants , fast food establishments ,

01:03.220 --> 01:05.800
convenience stores , movie theaters ,

01:05.810 --> 01:09.600
supermarkets and even at all the snacks

01:09.600 --> 01:11.656
and meals served in these places are

01:11.656 --> 01:13.900
often large enough for two or more

01:13.900 --> 01:16.900
people . Another habit to be aware of

01:16.910 --> 01:19.380
is distracted , eating , eating and

01:19.380 --> 01:21.770
doing another activity at the same time

01:21.780 --> 01:23.930
increases the likelihood of more than

01:23.930 --> 01:26.720
your body needs attention and we both

01:26.720 --> 01:28.942
play roles . And how much a person eats

01:28.942 --> 01:30.887
during the day , distracted eating

01:30.887 --> 01:32.887
means the brains and processing how

01:32.887 --> 01:35.220
much or how often a person eats , which

01:35.220 --> 01:37.442
increases the likelihood that they were

01:37.442 --> 01:39.580
at one time and wait less time before

01:39.580 --> 01:42.160
they eat again . Eating high calorie

01:42.160 --> 01:44.670
food can also be a problem even if

01:44.670 --> 01:46.670
they're eaten in small quantities .

01:46.670 --> 01:48.559
Some high calorie come in smaller

01:48.559 --> 01:50.670
portions like bite sized candy bars ,

01:50.670 --> 01:53.290
potato chips or other snacks . Because

01:53.290 --> 01:55.179
these foods contain more fat than

01:55.179 --> 01:57.068
healthy snacks such as fruits and

01:57.068 --> 01:59.068
vegetables , they also contain more

01:59.068 --> 02:02.690
calories . Remember every gram of fat

02:02.700 --> 02:05.160
contains more than twice the number of

02:05.160 --> 02:06.950
calories provided by a gram of

02:06.950 --> 02:09.970
carbohydrate . The small size of these

02:09.970 --> 02:12.390
snacks can make it feel like it's okay

02:12.400 --> 02:14.344
to have several servings , but the

02:14.344 --> 02:16.750
calories add up quickly . Mhm .
