An individual suffering from #OrthorexiaNervosa is obsessed with the #quality of their food rather than the #quantity of food they’re consuming. These individuals only consume foods that are pure #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

#TrainingLow is training with low carbohydrate availability. This type of training can lead to lower exercise capacity due to the limited #glycogen in the muscles and liver #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

Consuming 3-6mg/kg of body weight of #caffeine about 60 minutes before exercise can reduce the perception of exertion so workouts can last longer! #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

After training, athletes should consume 1.5 liters of water per kilogram of body weight lost to restore body water and achieve a state of #euhydration #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

Some dietary factors can affect the absorption of #zinc. For example, #phytates and #fiber found in whole grains and beans inhibit its absorption while animal-based proteins enhance it #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

It is recommended that adults consume just 15mg of #VitaminE daily but more than 90% of the population doesn’t meet the requirement! #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

#OmegaFattyAcids, such as Omega 3s and Omega 6s, get their name from the placement of the first double bond from the Omega (or methyl) end of their carbon structure #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

Amino acids make up #proteins and are classified as either #indispensable or #dispensable depending on whether your body can produce them on its own or they need to be consumed in the diet #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

It’s important to eat #carbohydrates as well as #protein after exercise in order to replenish glycogen stores! #nutr546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

There really is no such thing as the #fatburningzone since your body will eventually utilize #carbohydrates over #fat as an energy source during exercise. The best way to lose fat is to monitor calories in vs calories out #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

Measuring body composition isn’t an exact science. Even Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorpitometry (aka #DEXA) had an error rate (known as the standard error of the estimate, or #SEE) of about 1.8% #NUTR546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

Did you know your body burns calories just by digesting what you eat? It’s called the #thermiceffectoffood and it’s the energy required to digest food and absorb nutrients! #nutr546

[Danielle Ouellette @d_ouellette97]

Can’t wait to see if #SportsNutrition will be something I want to pursue after graduation! Excited to be taking #NUTR546 this semester
