Macro partitioning
Insufficient consumption of fruit, vegetables, fish, and fiber, combined with high saturated fat intake and prevalent overweight, constitutes a dietary pattern that increases the risk of obesity and chronic diseases.
To lower your risk of obesity and chronic disease, prioritize increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables, fish, and fiber while simultaneously reducing saturated fats. Simply reducing trans fats is not enough if your overall diet remains high in saturated fats and low in essential plant foods.
Dutch people still consume insufficient fruit, vegetables, fish and fibre... the proportion of saturated fatty acids in the diet is still high and overweight is common... A healthy dietary pattern is important to prevent obesity and chronic diseases.

- 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
