Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
At the end of this course students be able to;
o Comprehend the importance of energy, macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, fat/oils) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals)on healthy nutrition and body functioning.
o Identify the dietary sources, metabolism and deficiency states of the macro- and micronutrients; determine the requirements for different age group and gender.
o Evaluate the foods for their macro- and micronutrient content.
o The students gain the knowledge about the nutrition of sub-groups in the general population (elderly, workers, pregnant and lactating women, athletes) that sensitive to nutritional problems

Course Content

Adequate and balanced diet, nutrient-health interaction, importance of macronutrients on nutrition, food sources, metabolism and daily requirements, energy production from energy-yielding substrates (carbohydrates, protein and fats/oils), energy requirements for different age groups and gender, importance of vitamins and, classification, food sources, metabolism and daily requirements; energy and nutrient requirements and nutrition-health relationships of the elderly, workers, pregnant and lactating women, athletes are subjects of this course.
