Study guides

8

4 Digestion and Nutrient Absorption

Follow how food moves through the digestive tract, how mechanical and chemical digestion break it down, and how nutrients and water enter the blood or lymph.
Study guide · Updated

3 Micronutrients and Water

Learn how vitamins, minerals, water, and electrolytes support body functions, where they come from, and how to interpret nutrient reference values and risks.
Study guide · Updated

5 Metabolism and Energy Use

Learn how carbohydrates, fats, and proteins supply energy, how their pathways converge on ATP production, and how hormones coordinate fuel use and storage.
Study guide · Updated

6 Energy Balance

Learn how energy intake and expenditure relate to stored body energy, what shapes energy needs, and why body-weight regulation changes over time.
Study guide · Updated

8 Evaluating Nutrition Evidence and Applying Nutrition Principles

Learn how to evaluate nutrition research and claims, understand dietary assessment limits, and apply nutrition principles to practical food choices.
Study guide · Updated

2 Macronutrients

Learn how carbohydrates, fats, and proteins provide energy and support body functions, how they are digested, and how to consider their food sources.
Study guide · Updated

7 Dietary Assessment and Reference Standards

Learn how dietary intake is estimated, how reference values and food labels are used, and why interpretation requires context and caution.
Study guide · Updated

1 Foundations of Nutrition Science

Learn how nutrients support the body, how digestion and metabolism process food, and how researchers assess diets and evaluate diet–health relationships.
