NUTRITION 7 - Food and nutrition worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

---

Part 2: Place the nutrient to complete the definitions.

We have three options:
- Vitamins and minerals
- Carbohydrates and fats
- Proteins

Now let’s match each definition:

1) “______ gave our muscles stronger and give our body the nutrients we need for growth and repair.”
→ This is about building and repairing muscles — that’s what proteins do.
✔ Answer: Proteins

2) “______ help our immune system and prevent illness.”
→ Vitamins and minerals (like Vitamin C, zinc, etc.) boost immunity.
✔ Answer: Vitamins and minerals

3) “______ give our body energy.”
→ Carbs and fats are the main sources of energy in food.
✔ Answer: Carbohydrates and fats

Part 3: Tick “yes” or “no” for each food item under the correct group.

First table: FRUIT AND VEGETABLES — They contain vitamins and minerals.

Check each:

- apple → yes (it’s a fruit)
- chicken → no (it’s meat/protein)
- broccoli → yes (vegetable)
- cheese → no (dairy/fat/protein)
- tomatoes → yes (fruit/vegetable)
- pasta → no (carbohydrate)

Second table: MEAT GROUP — They give us proteins.

Check each:

- fish → yes (meat/protein)
- milk → no (dairy — has protein but not classified as “meat group”)
- banana → no (fruit)
- chicken → yes (meat/protein)
- sausages → yes (processed meat/protein)
- bread → no (grain/carb)

Note: Even though milk has protein, it’s usually grouped under dairy, not “meat group”. The worksheet says “Meat Group”, so we stick to actual meats.
