REYAL Objectives To define nutrients, and learn its types and importance To define body composition, its components, and measurements To determine the relationship between nutrition and body composition Nutrition & Body Composition What is Nutrition? Nutrition is the intake of food to be used by the body for the purpose of growth, metabolism, and repair. Foods contain nutrients like proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. What is Body Composition? Body composition is considered as the proportional contents of body fat and lean body mass, which contains muscle, bone, water, or other bodily tissues. It is considered as an important indicator of health and fitness. How do Nutrition and Body Composition effect Wellness? Having better or great nutrition and body composition leads to a healthier life. Nutrition and body composition are closely linked to overall wellness. Proper nutrition provides the energy and nutrients needed for muscle growth, fat loss, and maintaining good health, which in turn enhances physical fitness and well-being. Nutrition Nutrients They are chemical compounds necessary for the body to maintain essential functions and are best acquired through a well-balanced diet. Macronutrients Micronutrient Macronutrients “Macro” means “LARGE” in Greek. They are energy-providing nutrients that the body needs in larger quantities. Macronutrients are needed in smaller amounts but play vital roles in essential physiological processes. Types of Macronutrients: Carbohydrates Primary source of energy. Found in grains, breads, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Proteins Used for tissue repair and muscle building. Available in meat, dairy, legumes, and nuts. Fats Essential for long-term energy storage, cell structure, and hormone production. Available in oils, butter, avocados, and nuts. Foods with Macronutrients: These Steak (Protein) These Bread (Carbohydrate) These Nuts (fat) Micronutrients “Micro” means “small” in Greek. Micronutrients are an important group of nutrients your body needs. They include vitamins and minerals. Your body needs smaller amounts of micronutrients relative to macronutrients. That’s why they’re labeled “micro.” Micronutrients Vitamins are necessary for energy production, immune function, blood clotting and other functions. Minerals play an important role in growth, bone health, fluid balance and several other processes.

Healthy Body Fat Percent Healthy Body Fat Percentage For Men ranges from 8% to 24% For Women ranges from 21% to 35% Body Composition Ideal Body Composition Healthy Body Fat Percent Healthy BMI for Men and Women Nutrition Interrelationship with Body Composition Muscle Growth Protein is required for muscle synthesis The amount of carbohydrates will provide the energy during resistance training Fat Loss Includes a caloric deficit Adequate intake of protein helps lean mass intact while creating an environment within the body that causes fat loss Nutrient Timing Is eating food at strategic times to achieve specific outcomes Conclusion Nutrition is the intake of food for growth, metabolism, and repair. Body composition is the proportional contents of body fat and lean body mass. Both are inextricably linked, which in turn determines overall health, performance, and quality of life. Balancing both better improves wellness since proper macro and micronutrient intake can support the attainment of body composition goals such as gaining more muscle mass or reducing excess body fat.
