Macro partitioning
In rural Indian populations, coronary artery disease risk is not significantly associated with total carbohydrate or fat intake, but is linked to poor intake of fruits and vegetables.
If you are concerned about heart health, do not obsess over total fat or carbohydrate grams. Instead, prioritize increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables, as low intake of these foods is associated with higher CAD risk in rural populations.
Risk of CAD in rural population of Tamil Nadu is not related to total carbohydrates or fat intake. Coronary artery disease could be related poor intake of vegetables and fruits.

- Total daily protein intake of 1.6 g/kg/day is sufficient for maximizing resistance training-induced muscle gains, with an upper confidence interval of 2.2 g/kg/day.Strong
- Resistance exercise training combined with sufficient dietary protein intake acts synergistically to maximize skeletal muscle hypertrophy, with protein intake saturating around 1.6 g/kg/day for general populations and potentially requiring 2.0-2.2 g/kg/day for resistance-trained individuals.Strong
- Trans fats should be completely eliminated from the diet, as they increase LDL cholesterol, decrease HDL cholesterol, and are directly associated with increased coronary risk.Strong
