6 Energy Balance

Learn how energy intake and expenditure relate to body energy stores, and how physiological factors influence body weight over time.
Study guide · Updated

7 Dietary Assessment and Nutrition Evidence

Learn how dietary assessment methods estimate food and nutrient intake, how to interpret their limitations, and how to evaluate nutrition evidence.
Study guide · Updated

3 Micronutrients

Learn how vitamins and minerals support the body, where they come from, how inadequate or excessive intake can affect health, and how to interpret recommended-intake reference values.
Study guide · Updated

5 Nutrient Metabolism

Learn how nutrients are digested, used for cellular energy, stored, and coordinated by metabolic pathways and hormonal signals.
Study guide · Updated

4 Digestion and Nutrient Absorption

Learn how food moves through the digestive tract, how nutrients are broken down and absorbed, and which factors can affect these processes.
Study guide · Updated

2 Macronutrients

Learn how carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water, and fiber support the body, and how dietary reference values can guide food choices.
Study guide · Updated

1 Foundations of Nutrition Science

Explore how nutrients support the body, how digestion and metabolism process food, and how energy balance, dietary assessment, and research evidence inform nutrition science.
