Proteins are essential nutrients for the human body.

They are one of the building blocks of body tissue, and can also serve as a fuel source.

As a fuel, proteins provide as much energy density as carbohydrates: 4 kcal (17 kJ) per gram; in contrast, lipids provide 9 kcal (37 kJ) per gram.

The most important aspect and defining characteristic of protein from a nutritional standpoint is its amino acid composition.

Granola is a breakfast food and snack food consisting of rolled oats, nuts, honey or other sweeteners such as brown sugar, and sometimes puffed rice, that is usually baked until it is crisp, toasted and golden brown.

During the baking process, the mixture is stirred to maintain a loose breakfast cereal consistency.

Dried fruit, such as raisins and dates, and confections such as chocolate are sometimes added.

Granola, particularly if it includes flax seeds, is often used to improve digestion.

Granola is often eaten in combination with yogurt, honey, fresh fruit (such as bananas, strawberries or blueberries), milk or other forms of cereal.

It also serves as a topping for various pastries, desserts or ice cream.

A nut is a fruit composed of a hard shell and a seed, which is generally edible.

In a general context, however, a wide variety of dried seeds are called nuts, but in a botanical context, there is an additional requirement that the shell does not open to release the seed (indehiscent).

The translation of "nut" in certain languages frequently requires paraphrases, as the word is ambiguous.

Food energy is chemical energy that animals (including humans) derive from food and molecular oxygen through the process of cellular respiration.

(Cellular respiration involves either the process of joining oxygen from air with the molecules of food (aerobic respiration) or the process of reorganizing the atoms within the molecules (anaerobic respiration)).

A snack is a portion of food, smaller than a regular meal, generally eaten between meals.

Snacks come in a variety of forms including packaged snack foods and other processed foods, as well as items made from fresh ingredients at home.
