Balanced Nutrient Ratios Diet History: Balanced nutrient ratio diets hit the scene in the mid to late 1990’s. Instead of cutting out fat or carbs completely this theory suggests that you eat each major macronutrient at approximately the same ratio. The most common style was to consume 30% of your calories from fat‚ 30% from protein and 40% from carbs. This was a drastic change from the mainstream diet advice of approximately 70% carbohydrate diet mixed with 10% protein and 20% fat. Considering

Body weight is regulated by a series of physiological processes‚ which have the capacity to maintain weight within a relatively narrow range (stable weight). It is thought that the body exerts a stronger defence against undernutrition and weight loss than it does against over-consumption and weight gain. Figure 4 also suggests that positive energy balance and weight gains are influenced

The daily recommended allowance of calories for a man is 2500‚ women is 2000and children 1800. This is based on how much energy is needed by the body to function normally. The daily recommended allowance is a nutritional need that varies or differs in lifestyle and activities. Our body needs a certain amount from each food group. This can be easily illustrated

The aim of the experiment was to examine the effects that having a rich lipid diet had on the CHO and fat metabolism during the prolonged exercise. The data shows that at rest the body was in a heavy fat metabolism and when exercise started there was a shift of metabolism from fat to CHO. After thirty minutes‚ the metabolism shifted back to a primary metabolism of fat. Examining the data from this experiment to other studies showed a similar result.
