  1. 1Welcome to the nutrition lab. Let's find out what our food is made of.歡迎來到營養實驗室。一起來看看食物是由什麼組成的。
  2. 2Almost everything you eat is a mix of three main nutrients: carbohydrate, protein and fat.你吃的幾乎所有東西,都是三大營養素的組合:碳水化合物、蛋白質和脂肪。
  3. 3Rice, noodles and bread are mostly carbohydrate. It is the body's quickest fuel.米飯、麵和麵包大部分是碳水化合物,它是身體最快的燃料。
  4. 4Protein builds and repairs the body. Meat, fish, eggs, beans and tofu are good sources.蛋白質負責建造和修補身體。肉、魚、蛋、豆類和豆腐都是好來源。
  5. 5Fat stores energy. One gram of fat has nine calories, more than twice the other two.脂肪儲存能量。一公克脂肪有 9 大卡,是另外兩種的兩倍多。
  6. 6Fat also helps the body absorb some vitamins, the way a sponge takes in water.脂肪也幫助身體吸收某些維生素,就像海綿把水吸進去一樣。
  7. 7The body cannot make some vitamins itself, so they must come from food. Vitamin C is the best-known example.有些維生素身體自己做不出來,必須從食物來。維生素 C 是最有名的例子。
  8. 8Vegetables are full of fibre. Different coloured vegetables carry different vitamins, too.蔬菜裡有很多纖維。不同顏色的蔬菜,也帶著不同的維生素。
  9. 9The body cannot digest fibre. It passes through, but it keeps the digestive system working.身體無法消化纖維。它會直接通過,卻讓消化系統正常運作。
  10. 10Now let's read a label. You only need three numbers: serving size, calories and sugar.現在來看營養標示。你只要會看三個數字:份量、熱量和糖。
  11. 11Check the serving size first. This bottle has 2.5 servings, so multiply every number by 2.5.先看份量。這一瓶有 2.5 份,所以每個數字都要乘以 2.5。
  12. 12Ingredients are listed by weight. If sugar is near the top, the product is mostly sugar.成分是照重量排的。如果糖排在很前面,那個產品主要就是糖。
  13. 13A calorie is a unit of energy, and you need them. The amount should match how much you move.卡路里是能量的單位,你需要它。吃進去的量要跟你的活動量搭配。
  14. 14Now it's your turn. Click on anything in the lab to learn more.現在換你了。點點實驗室裡的東西,多學一點。

What Food Is Made Of食物是由什麼組成的

Almost everything you eat is a mix of three main nutrients: carbohydrates, protein and fat.你吃的幾乎所有東西,都是三大營養素的組合:碳水化合物、蛋白質和脂肪。

Carbohydrates are the body's quickest fuel. Rice, noodles, bread and sugar are mostly carbohydrate.碳水化合物是身體最快的燃料。米飯、麵、麵包和糖大部分是碳水化合物。

Protein builds and repairs the body — muscles, skin, hair. Meat, fish, eggs, beans and tofu are good sources.蛋白質負責建造與修補身體——肌肉、皮膚、頭髮。肉、魚、蛋、豆類和豆腐都是好來源。

Fat stores energy and helps the body absorb some vitamins. It is not the enemy — the amount and the kind are what matter.脂肪儲存能量,也幫助身體吸收某些維生素。它不是敵人——重點在於量和種類。

Reading a Label看懂營養標示

Check the serving size first先看份量
Every other number on the label is per serving. If a bottle contains 2.5 servings, you must multiply everything by 2.5 to know what you actually drank.標示上其他每一個數字都是「每份」。如果一瓶有 2.5 份,你要把每個數字乘以 2.5,才知道自己實際喝了多少。
Calories are energy, not badness熱量是能量,不是壞事
A calorie is a unit of energy. You need them. The question is whether the amount matches how much you move.卡路里是能量的單位,你需要它。問題在於攝取量跟你的活動量搭不搭。
Look for added sugar找添加糖
Sugar in whole fruit comes with fibre and water. Added sugar in a drink arrives with nothing else, which is why a sweet drink adds up so fast.完整水果裡的糖伴隨纖維和水分。飲料裡的添加糖什麼都沒帶,這就是為什麼一杯甜飲熱量累積得那麼快。
Ingredients are listed by weight成分照重量排序
The first ingredient is the largest by weight. If sugar is near the top of the list, the product is mostly sugar.第一個成分重量最多。如果糖排在很前面,那個產品主要就是糖。
Eat a range of colours吃多種顏色
Different coloured vegetables carry different vitamins. Filling half the plate with vegetables is simpler advice than counting anything.不同顏色的蔬菜帶著不同的維生素。把盤子一半裝蔬菜,比算任何數字都簡單。

The Three Main Nutrients三大營養素

Nutrient 營養素Job 功能Energy per gram 每公克熱量Sources 來源
Carbohydrate 碳水化合物Quick fuel 快速燃料4 kcal 大卡Rice, noodles, bread 米飯、麵、麵包
Protein 蛋白質Build and repair 建造與修補4 kcal 大卡Meat, eggs, beans, tofu 肉、蛋、豆類、豆腐
Fat 脂肪Store energy 儲存能量9 kcal 大卡Oil, nuts, fatty meat 油、堅果、肥肉

資料查證至 2025 年底

脂肪每公克的熱量是另外兩者的兩倍多,所以同樣一口食物,油多的那一口熱量高得多。這不代表脂肪不好,只代表它很濃縮。

Did You Know?你知道嗎?

  • Water is not a nutrient that gives energy, but you cannot live more than a few days without it.水不是提供能量的營養素,但沒有它你活不過幾天。
  • Fibre passes through the body without being digested, yet it keeps the digestive system working properly.纖維通過身體卻不被消化,但它讓消化系統正常運作。
  • A large cup of sweet bubble tea can contain more sugar than a whole day's recommended amount.一大杯全糖珍奶的含糖量,可能超過一整天的建議攝取量。
  • The body cannot make some vitamins itself, which is why they must come from food. Vitamin C is the best-known example.有些維生素身體自己做不出來,所以必須從食物來。維生素 C 是最有名的例子。
