The Proteins and Amino Acids

_____________________________________

This video covers Chapter 6: The Proteins and Amino Acids, which is the final stop on our journey into the three macronutrients.

The learning objectives for this lesson are to:

• Describe the structure of proteins and amino acids
• Explore the basics of protein metabolism, emphasizing digestion, absorption, storage, and turnover
• Examine the roles of body proteins
• Discuss nutrition recommendations for protein

This course follows Sizer and Whitney’s Nutrition: Concepts & Controversies, 16th edition, but I’ve made adjustments by skipping and rearranging some of the material and adding my own images and information.
