Study Notes
Macros Overview
- Inadequate and excessive macro intake can lead to both short-term and long-term health issues.
Protein
- Deficiency causes delayed growth and development in children, and muscle wasting.
- Excessive intake can lead to high energy intake, increased kidney load, dehydration, and higher saturated fat/ cholesterol consumption.
- Can increase urinary calcium loss, raising osteoporosis risk, and lead to amino acid imbalances and toxicity from supplementation.
Carbohydrates
- Intake below 50-100g/day may result in ketosis and breakdown of amino acids for glucose production.
- Insufficient fiber intake can lead to constipation, diverticular disease, and increased obesity risk by not promoting satiety.
- Excessive sugar contributes to dental caries, hyperlipidaemia, weight gain, and high blood glucose levels, while excessive fiber (over 50-60g/day) can reduce iron and zinc absorption.
Fats
- Insufficient fat leads to deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins and lower HDL cholesterol levels.
- Excessive fat intake is linked to obesity, certain cancers, and cardiovascular disease risks.
- High intake of alpha-linolenic acid may impair immune function and increase risk of bleeding events.
Fat Soluble Vitamins
-
Vitamin A
- Deficiency results in poor growth, night blindness, and impaired immune function.
- Excess may cause headaches, liver damage, and potential for birth defects.
-
