Energy and Protective Nutrients
Food plays three essential roles: providing energy, protecting the body through nutrients, and offering pleasure. Energy-yielding nutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and alcohol—support metabolism, tissue growth, and daily functioning, while vitamins and minerals enable countless biochemical processes such as immunity, enzyme activity, and nerve signaling. Understanding the basics of nutrition helps guide healthier choices and supports overall physiological well-being.

Diets and Dietary Supplements
Diets can range from evidence-based lifestyle approaches to unproven fad diets, each carrying different benefits and risks. Weight-loss diets may produce quick results but often compromise muscle mass, metabolism, and long-term sustainability. Lifestyle diets are typically balanced and health-promoting when applied flexibly, while hypothesis-based and fad diets lack sufficient scientific support and may even be harmful.

Energy balance
In this lesson you'll learn the key principles of energy balance and how you can apply these principles into your own unique circumstances to improve your performance.
These key principles are:
-Law of Thermodynamics, 1st Principle: Energy cannot be created or destroyed — only transformed.
-Energy intake equals energy expenditure → body weight remains stable.
-Energy intake greater than expenditure → body weight increases.
-Energy intake lower than expenditure → body weight decreases.

weight loss, toning, and fat burning
Effective fat loss combines:
-Moderate, sustainable energy deficit
-High protein intake
-Regular resistance and aerobic training
-Patience and adherence
The focus should remain on body composition improvements — not just weight change — for long-term health and performance outcomes.
In this lesson you'll learn how to reduce excess weight from your body, but still keep your muscles and performance capacity intact.

muscle mass and nutrition
Building muscle requires progressive training, sufficient energy intake, and balanced macronutrients.
Perfectionism in diet offers little added benefit — consistency, adequacy, and recovery determine long-term success.

Special topics in muscle mass and nutrition
Strategic energy management — including planned breaks, adequate recovery, and realistic dietary phases — supports long-term performance, metabolic health, and sustainable body composition outcomes.
In this lesson you'll learn how to plan dietary phases efficiently, without compromising your performance goals.

Supplements and Body Composition
Most supplements marketed to athletes lack strong scientific backing. While 80–90% of elite athletes use them, the greatest performance improvements come from optimizing basic diet quality and energy balance.
Only a few supplements consistently show proven benefits. In this lesson you'll learn which supplements on the market can make an impact to your performance and recovery.

Balance
Balance
Optimal physical development requires goal-oriented training, sufficient rest and body care, and enough energy and nutrients at the right times.
Together with mental well-being, these are prerequisites for long-term development and health.
Key components: Training, Rest, Mind, Nutrition
In this lesson you'll learn tools that may help you find more balance between stress and recovery. This balance will help you maintain your hard earned gains in the field of performance.

The Role of Energy- and Protective Nutrients
The Role of energy- and protective nutrients is to support performance, recovery, immunity, and body composition goals.
By balancing energy, macronutrients, micronutrients, and hydration in both quality and timing, you'll improve your abilities to focus on hard things and enhance your chances to grow stronger and faster.

Training focused eating
Eating and drinking before, during, and after exercise with proper timing ensures:
-Steady energy and nutrient availability
-Good training readiness and performance
-Faster recovery and adaptation
General routine: eat every 2–4 hours, 5–7 times daily (+ hydration during training).

Muscle Mass Development and Nutrition
Optimizing energy, macronutrients, hydration, and strategic supplementation supports muscle growth, recovery, protection, and cognitive/physical performance.
In this lesson you'll find that for insrtance, the human body contains ~12 kg of protein; and only half is in skeletal muscle.

Nutrition Psychology
Nutrition psychology explores how values, goals, and motivation influence eating and lifestyle habits. Lasting change is supported by understanding one’s values, fostering internal motivation, and setting meaningful, achievable goals. Methods such as value-based discussions, goal comparisons, and analyzing a “good life” help you with the assessment of what truly matters, increasing motivation and promoting sustainable behavior change.
