Macro partitioning
A high dietary fat intake is associated with oxidative stress and activation of proinflammatory transcription factors, whereas a diet rich in fruits and fiber has no inflammation-inducing capacity.
Reduce high-fat foods to lower inflammation. Focus on fruits and fiber, which do not trigger inflammatory responses even if calorie content is similar.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
A study by Aljada et al. has shown that a high dietary fat intake is associated with an oxidative stress and an activation of the proinflammatory transcription factor, that is, nuclear factor kappa-beta (NFκB).

- 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
