Experience the taste sensations of different carbohydrates. What are
some foods that satisfy your sweetness sensation?
Even though fiber contains calories, albeit less than half of other
carbohydrates, why do we generally discount its caloric contribution
from our diets?
. How long a person feels full after eating a carbohydrate-rich meal
depends on the type of carbohydrate consumed and what other
nutrients are in the meal.
Conduct an experiment and determine how
long you feel full after eating a candy bar; after eating a slice of wholegrain bread; after eating an apple; and after eating a potato. Compare
your results with your classmates and discuss why some of these
carbohydrate foods make you feel full longer than others.
