• Oxidative (aerobic) system is the primary source of energy at rest: breaking down carbohydrates and fats

• Energy to perform exercise comes from an interaction between aerobic and anaerobic pathways (breaking down carbohydrates and fats)

• Low-intensity exercise (<30% VO2max)– Fats are primary fuel

• High-intensity exercise (>70% VO2max)– Carbohydrates are primary fuel

• “Crossover” concept– Describes the shift from fat to carbohydrate

metabolism as exercise intensity increases– Due to: Recruitment of fast, type II, glycolytic muscle

fibers

• During prolonged exercise, there is a shift from carbohydrates metabolism toward fat metabolism

Why do we need proteins from food?

• Food proteins are broken down to amino acids that are used to build body proteins (e.g., enzymes, hormones, tissue structures, lean body mass)

• 1-2 hr after exercise: a spike in body protein synthesis (repair of muscles): a need for a fast amino acid supply

• 6 hr-window of body protein synthesis during sleep: a need for a steady supply of amino acids

1. The consumption of slow (e.g., casein) and fast (e.g., whey) protein leads to slower or faster increases in plasma amino acid concentrations. Therefore, it is recommended to consume slow proteins before exercise and fast proteins after exercise.

2. Fast proteins consumed within 30 min of a workout provide amino acids for a spike in body protein synthesis that occurs within 1-2 hr of a workout.

3. Slow proteins right before bed provide a steady supply of amino acids for a 6 hr-window during sleep when body proteins are being synthesized.

Agatha’s Story

Three years ago, my friend Agatha decided to stop eating meat and fish for ethical reasons. Having been a vegetarian for three years and being interested in her nutrition, she has a well planned vegetarian diet avoiding any micronutrient (iron, vitamin B12)deficiencies.

This year, Agatha has decided to lose weight for a wedding of her sister. She started consuming a vegetarian “high-protein diet”.
