Question
Chapter 23, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Estimate how much more a person would weigh if excess energy were stored in the form ofcarbohydrate instead of fat
Introduction:
Once the glycogen stores are full, body stores excess energy from carbohydrate as fat. Along with this, excess energy from fat and protein intake is stored as fat as well. Adipose cells store this extra energy in the form of triglycerides.

Briefly describe the components of the four major types of lipoproteins and explain the function of each in relation to lipid metabolism in humans.
Most diets provide adequate levels of protein, even when trying to achieve protein intakes of 1.2 to 2 grams/kilogram of bodyweight. However, protein supplementation can be utilized in some instances. Discuss instances in which you think protein supplementation would make sense or be warranted?
Recent recommendations on diet suggestthat the sources of calories should be distributed as follows: 50%–55% carbohydrate, 25%–30% fats, and 20% protein. Suggest somereasons for these recommendations.
