Carbohydrate is Energy and Essential Food

Carbohydrate is Energy 
and Essential Food

Carbohydrates are the food nutrients needed for the body to maintain its metabolism. Carbohydrates are a source of energy.Our body requires this nutrient. After 6 or 8 hours, our body feels weak because of carbohydrate consumed is running out to move the muscles. To restore the necessary energy is reqired new supply the input of carbohydrate.

Sources of carbohydrates the essential food can be divided into three kinds;, the first is the source of carbohydrates derived from the fibrous foods fruits and vegetables, then simple carbohydrate derived from sugar consumption and the latter is a complex carbohydrate derived from rice, potatoes, corn , bread, and others.   Sugar alcohol is an alcohol form of monosaccharides.  Oligosaccharides are short chains of sugar formed by galactose, glucose, and fructose.
Miscellaneous class of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are important in nutrition, It is divided into 2 categories, namely simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Indeed, all types of carbohydrates consist of simple carbohydrates or simple sugars; complex carbohydrates have more than 2 units of simple sugars in the molecule simple carbohydrates.

Simple carbohydrates consist of:
Monosaccharides which consists of an iron atom C the same amount with water molecules,
namely [〖C_6 (H_2 O)〗 _ 6] and [〖C_5 (H_2 O)〗 _ 5]
Disaccharide consisting of two monosaccharides bond where for every 12 C atoms there are 11 water molecules [C_12 (H_2 O) 11]

. Resources which become carbohydrates are grains (wheat and rice) or cereal, tubers (potato, cassava, sweet potato), corn, dried beans, nuts, and sugar. Produced from carbohydrate sources is the noodles. rice noodles, bread, starchy, jam, syrup, and so on. Most of the vegetables and fruits do not contain many carbohydrates. Vegetable tubers, like carrots and beans contain relatively more carbohydrate than vegetables

. Animal foods such as meat, chicken, fish, eggs, and milk contain very little carbohydrate. Sources of carbohydrates eaten as staple food in Indonesia are rice, maize, yams, cassava, taro, and sago.
Here are a source of carbohydrates based on 1 unit of exchange, with almost the same calories. Can be used to develop staple food. If you want to feel fit it should be weighed first but can also be estimated. Each of these foods contains the following:

Energy: 175 calories
Carbohydrates: 40 g
Protein: 4 g

Alternative Formulations:
1. Rice bread 100gr        70gr               50gr crackers
      (3/4 cup)               (3 pcs )         (5  pieces)

2. Wet noodle 200gr -   120gr cassava - corn
      125 g (2 cups)        (1 pcs)             (1 plate)

3. Sweet potatoes    210gr            135gr          taro 125 g
                       (2 seeds )          (1 piece)       (1 piece)

The Formulation types of food substitution and also the magnitude of the amount of carbohydrates needed by the body, then we can change our habits of eating rice with the substitution of another. To be sure, do not eat rice could satiety.
