Resistance-trained males failed to meet carbohydrate intake recommendations on average.

Practitioners should ensure that resistance-trained individuals are meeting carbohydrate intake recommendations.

The PEN approach resulted in high compliance to daily energy and macronutrient intakes among resistance-trained males.

Implementing the PEN approach can enhance dietary compliance in resistance training populations.

Endurance-trained males tended to reduce carbohydrate intake before the first endurance training of the day.

Endurance athletes may need guidance on carbohydrate intake timing to optimize performance.

68% of participants showed good knowledge and attitudes about protein supplement use.

This indicates a need for continued education and support for protein supplement use among gym users.

67.2% of respondents had used ergogenic supplements, primarily whey protein for muscle enhancement.

Fitness professionals should be aware of the high prevalence of supplement use among gym members and the need for guidance.

Exercise experience of 7—12 months and >1 year are significantly associated with supplement consumption (OR = 5.4 and OR = 5.091, respectively).

Individuals with more exercise experience may be more inclined to use supplements, suggesting a need for informed guidance.

Enablers of medication adherence include patient education, family support, effective patient-provider communication, and structured diabetes education programmes.

Enhancing these enablers may lead to better adherence outcomes.

Individuals with diagnosed T2DM reported higher HEI component scores for added sugar, indicating lower sugar intake, but lower scores for sodium and refined grains, indicating higher intake of these components, compared to those without diagnoses.

Dietary management for T2DM should address both sugar intake and the high consumption of sodium and refined grains.

The main effect of eating disorder category on UPF consumption was statistically significant after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI.

The significant association suggests that eating disorder categories should be considered in dietary evaluations.

A significant association was found between the proportion of plain water consumption and BMI (p<0.05).

This association suggests that increasing plain water intake may help manage BMI.

Dosing of protein at each meal may be important for muscle strength.

Practitioners should consider advising on protein distribution across meals for post-menopausal women.

Both whey and soy protein may provide some benefit to muscle strength.

Practitioners may consider recommending whey or soy protein to support muscle strength in post-menopausal women.

The WELL Diet Score is positively and significantly associated with overall resilience across all ages (β = 1.2 ± sd: 0.2, p < 0.001).

Improving diet quality may enhance resilience in adults.

Young adults demonstrated the strongest associations between diet quality and resilience.

Targeting dietary interventions in young adults may be particularly beneficial for enhancing resilience.

There is a significant association between hypertension and dietary intake of glucose.

Dietary interventions for hypertensive patients may benefit from focusing on glucose intake.

More healthy options were less expensive at 4 out of 6 restaurants where a significant association between ENS and price was found.

Healthier meal options can be found at lower prices in many casual dining settings.

Diet quality is positively associated with resilience in young adults.

Practitioners may consider focusing on improving diet quality to enhance resilience in younger populations.

Diet quality demonstrated a positive association with resilience in all age groups when adjusted for perceived stress and sociodemographics.

Improving diet quality may enhance resilience across different age groups, especially when considering stress and demographic factors.

There is widespread interest in participation in a weight management program among adult dependents of ADMP who are overweight or obese.

Weight management programs should be designed to appeal to this demographic, particularly those who are overweight or obese.

There is a relationship between body image and nutritional status.

Practitioners should consider body image when addressing nutritional status.

51.6% of respondents have poor energy intake.

Interventions may be needed to improve energy intake among students.

A ketogenic diet (very low carbohydrate, high fat) enhances fat oxidation and endurance performance in prolonged aerobic activities but may impair anaerobic performance and strength gains due to limited glycogen availability.

If you are an endurance athlete, a ketogenic diet may help you burn fat more efficiently during long activities. However, if you participate in high-intensity, short-duration sports (like sprinting or powerlifting), a ketogenic diet may hinder your performance and strength gains due to low glycogen. Choose your diet based on your sport's energy demands.

Pre-operative Very Low Energy Diets (VLEDs) used for 14 days may reduce technical difficulty and early complications by reducing liver volume, but do not significantly impact 30-day morbidity or operative time.

A 14-day VLED might make your surgery technically easier by shrinking your liver, but it won't necessarily reduce your overall risk of complications or shorten your operation time. It is a specific tool used in some guidelines, not a general requirement.

Formula diet-based lifestyle interventions may lead to greater weight loss compared to modern antidiabetic drugs, while maintaining comparable long-term glycemic control in obese type 2 diabetes patients.

If you have type 2 diabetes and are obese, consider a formula diet-based lifestyle intervention. It may help you lose more weight than antidiabetic drugs while keeping your blood sugar under control, at least in the short term.
