Macro partitioning
Low-carbohydrate diets (ketogenic diets) lead to greater short-term weight loss and improved triglyceride levels compared to low-fat diets, but may have less favorable effects on LDL cholesterol.
For short-term weight loss and improved triglyceride levels, a low-carbohydrate diet may be more effective than a low-fat diet. However, monitor LDL cholesterol levels, as they may not improve or may worsen.

- 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
