👉🏼 Presentation Slides: https://cnu.sellfy.store/p/presentation-slides/ _____________________________________ This video covers Chapter 6: The Proteins and Amino Acids, which is the final stop on our journey into the three macronutrients. The learning objectives for this lesson are to: • Describe the structure of proteins and amino acids • Explore the basics of protein metabolism, emphasizing digestion, absorption, storage, and turnover • Examine the roles of body proteins • Discuss nutrition recommendations for protein This course follows Sizer and Whitney's Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies, 16th edition, but I've made adjustments by skipping and rearranging some of the material and adding my own images and information. _____________________________________ ✨ Get the Presentation Slides for Nutrition 101: https://cnu.sellfy.store/p/presentation-slides/ 📖 Buy my book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/6C6lXGa 📸 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mitchellzandes/ _____________________________________ 📚 Chapters for this video: 0:00 The Proteins and Amino Acids 1:02 Definition of Proteins 2:19 Structure of Proteins 3:16 Building Proteins from Amino Acids 4:14 Amino Acid Sequences 6:51 Protein Digestion 7:42 Protein Absorption 9:48 Protein Storage and Turnover 11:38 The Roles of Body Proteins 14:33 Using Protein for Energy 16:50 Recommendations for Daily Protein Intake 17:54 Sources of Protein 19:12 Plant-Based vs. Animal-Based Protein Sources 21:00 Factors Affecting Protein Needs This video is for educational purposes only.
