Learning Objectives: By the end of the lesson, learners will be able to :

i.  Define energy-giving foods

ii.  Give examples of energy- giving foods

iii.  Mention the elements that makes up carbohydrates

 

Content:

Energy – giving foods are foods that give strength to man and other animals. They are basically starchy foods called carbohydrates.

Examples of energy-giving foods are
