Nutrition review 2.2 worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

Part 1: Match each nutrient with the food that contains it.

We need to match:
- Proteins
- Carbohydrates
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Fats

With these food groups:

A) Pasta, bread and rice → These are starchy foods → Carbohydrates

B) Chicken, fish and eggs → These are high in protein → Proteins

C) Fatty fish, olive oil and nuts → These contain healthy fats → Fats

D) Fruits and vegetables → Rich in vitamins and minerals → But we have to pick one per line. Since “Vitamins” is listed separately, and fruits/veggies are famous for vitamins → Vitamins

E) Dairy products and vegetables → Dairy has calcium (a mineral), and some veggies too → So this matches Minerals

Wait — let’s double-check:

Actually, looking again:

The last box says: “Dairy products and vegetables.”
Dairy = calcium (mineral)
Vegetables = also have minerals like potassium, magnesium → so yes, Minerals

But what about “Fruits and vegetables”? That’s more associated with Vitamins.

So final matching:

- Proteins → Chicken, fish and eggs
- Carbohydrates → Pasta, bread and rice
- Vitamins → Fruits and vegetables
- Minerals → Dairy products and vegetables
- Fats → Fatty fish, olive oil and nuts

✔ This makes sense nutritionally.

Part 2: Choose the correct nutrient to complete the definitions.

1) ______________ gave our muscles stronger and give our body the nutrients we need for growth and repair.
→ That’s Proteins. They build and repair muscles.

2) ______________ help our immune system and prevent illness.
→ That’s Vitamins. Especially Vitamin C, D, etc., support immunity.

3) ______________ give our body energy.
→ That’s Carbohydrates. They’re the main source of energy for the body.

(Note: Fats also give energy, but carbs are the primary quick-energy source taught at this level.)
