As you go up the periodic table, ionization energies also increase. To continue the example, fluorine lies highest and farthest to the right, so it has the highest ionization energy. Rank the other elements in the group from highest and farthest to the right down to lowest and farthest to the left. This is the order of their ionization energies. To continue the example, fluorine has a higher ionization energy than sulfur, which has a higher ionization energy than lithium. Notice that hydrogen is something of an anomaly -- its ionization energy lies between that of carbon and nitrogen, but it's usually placed in column 1.
Ask your healthcare provider for a referral to a dietitian in your community. In the meantime, you can get started by thinking about how much carb to aim for at each of your meals and any snacks that you may eat. In general, women need about 45 to 60 grams of carb per meal and 15 grams of carb per snack. Men usually need more carb, so a starting goal is 60 to 75 grams of carb per meal and 15 to 30 grams of carb per snack. If you prefer, you can use carb servings instead of grams.
So if you eat 2,100 calories per day or about 700 calories at each meal, about 350 to 420 calories per meal should come from carbs. One slice of whole-wheat bread has about 14 grams of carbs, and a large banana has 31 grams.ccording to the Institute of Medicine, adult women need about 46 grams of protein per day, and adult men need about 56 grams, which breaks down to 15 to 19 grams of protein per meal if you eat three meals a day.
