MACRONUTRIENTS - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. a unit for measuring energy intake or expenditure
  2. Helps to build, maintain and repair body cells. Can be used as a secondary source of energy.
  3. as a medium for all chemical reactions required to provide energy, required for hydration
  4. required for development and maintenance of cell membranes
  5. Assists in lowering low density lipoproteins [LDL], or ‘bad cholesterol’
  6. CAN be synthesised (made up) in the body from other amino acids.
  7. These nutrients increase cholesterol levels in the blood and can therefore contribute to cardiovascular disease in the long term.
  8. Found in all foods of plant origin, fibre is not absorbed by the body. Rather, it travels through the digestive system, acting like a cleaner as it moves
  9. The main function of this nutrient is to provide fuel for the body
  10. hardest nutrient for the body to break down and use for energy
  11. easiest macronutrient for the body to break down and use for energy
  12. nutrients that are required by the body in small amounts
  13. prevents constipation, provides a feeling of fullness and reduces cholestrol levels
  14. cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes
  15. CAN’T be synthesised (made up) in the body and therefore need to be consumed.
  16. increases high density lipoproteins [HDL] or ‘good cholesterol’
  17. nutrients that are required by the body in large amounts
