Metabolic and chronic diseases related to nutrition are highlighted throughout the semester.

Outcome 1: Students should be able to describe: 1) dietary sources and functions of major nutrients, and how they are metabolized in the body; 2) nutrient requirements and consequences of deficiency; 3) effects of caloric restriction, genetic impairments, fasting/feeding, exercise, weight loss/gain and illness on metabolic pathways and fuel utilization; and 4) the relationships between nutrient intake and health outcomes.
