Full Description
This exam focuses on the metabolic adaptations that occur as a response to changes in dietary intake, including alterations in energy expenditure and nutrient utilization.
Understanding metabolic adaptations is essential for developing dietary interventions tailored to individual needs, particularly in clinical and sports nutrition contexts. These adaptations can impact weight management and physical performance.
Candidates will be expected to discuss the biochemical changes that follow different dietary patterns, including fasting, ketogenic diets, and increased carbohydrate intake, and their physiological implications.
Preparation should include familiarization with metabolic flexibility and how different macronutrient ratios can influence metabolic outcomes.
Sample Questions
- What metabolic changes occur during prolonged fasting?
- How does a high-carbohydrate diet influence metabolic flexibility?
