Ch 24: Programming: Putting It All Together Flashcards
Putting it all together
Determine, Align, Individualize, Monitor and Evaluate
Formally defined as the action or process of scheduling something. In the context of nutrition coaching, it is the process or scheduling of a nutrition plan in which the plan is set into motion to achieve a specific goal.
Programming
The practical application in which a nutrition coach summarizes the scientific principles of nutrition.
Programming
Programming can be achieved by employing seven defined, but integrated steps:
- Set a goal.
- Determine the total daily energy requirements adjusted for the goal.
- Set the protein macronutrient target.
- Set the fat macronutrient target.
- Set the carbohydrate macronutrient target.
- Individualize and convert numbers to food and habits.
- Monitor, evaluate, and adjust.
What clearly defines a logical order of progression as well as a hierarchy of what to prioritize?
The seven-step process
First step in the programming process
Set a Goal
Define the end outcome for the program.
In the context of nutrition coaching, the outcome is what?
Body composition or exercise-related goal
Goals can be categorized into one of the following types:
Weight (fat) loss, weight (muscle) gain, a combination of fat loss and muscle gain (body recomposition), or improved exercise (sport) performance
A large percentage of clients who seek out nutrition coaching have ____________as their primary goal or a part of their primary goal.
Weight (fat) loss
While some people may set weight-loss goals based on previous body weight or an arbitrary number:
A Nutrition Coach must understand what thresholds and targets can improve client health while still being feasible to achieve
According to most research in people who are overweight or obese, weight loss of ______ can substantially improve an individual’s health and reduce their risk of many chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes and cardiovascular disease).
10%
A 1-kilogram (2.2-pound) reduction in weight can reduce the relative risk of developing diabetes by ___________________
16%
Well-researched rates of weight loss that are realistic and backed by science
This translates to roughly 1 to 2 pounds (0.4 to 0.9 kilogram) of weight loss per week.
Which approach gets implemented often depends on:
The situation, end goal, and weighing the pros and cons of each approach
Two main things to consider when setting a calorie deficit for an individual:
The total amount of weight loss desired and the time frame.
An upper threshold of _______ weight loss per week should be set for almost all clients.
1%
Calorie reductions smaller than about ___________ are not very effective
250 kcals per day
An untrained or novice resistance trainees, a realistic increase in body weight should be roughly
0.5 to 1.0% per month (1-2 lbs per month)
Losing body fat while concurrently increasing lean mass is a goal that is often referred to as:
Body recomposition
Nutrition Coaches should encourage weight-loss clients to:
Begin or maintain an appropriate resistance-training regimen to help preserve lean body mass (i.e., muscle) while in a negative energy balance.
How clients can lose fat and preserve or gain some muscle simultaneously
To do so simply requires adequate protein intake, resistance training, and a moderate calorie deficit. But it is important to note, the rate of muscle gain while in a negative energy balance will be slower than if the client was in a calorie surplus.
Division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages.
Periodization
Effects that directly interfere with adaptations of specific training modalities.
Interfering Effects
Exercise training programs must be tailored to the:
Athlete’s needs, goals, and abilities.
Programming Step 1
Set a Goal (Weight (fat) loss, weight (muscle) gain, a combination of fat loss and muscle gain (body recomposition), or improved exercise (sport) performance)
Programming Step 2
Calculate the client’s calorie and macronutrient needs
Programming Step 3
Understanding an individual’s Total Daily Energy Expenditure
Determining an individual’s Total Daily Energy Expenditure
Total amount of calories expended in a given day
Three main components:
1. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
2. Thermic Effect of Activity (TEA)
3. Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)
Random acts of movement throughout the day besides structured exercise (e.g., fidgeting, taking a shower, or walking to a parked car), is considered an aspect of TEA
Nonexercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)
The rate at which the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going, such as breathing and keeping warm.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
The energy expended during all forms of activity.
Thermic Effect of Activity (TEA)
The amount of energy (calories) expended to digest and metabolize food.
Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)
Harris–Benedict Equation
Women: BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 × weight) + (3.098 × height) – (4.330 × age)
Men: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 × weight) + (4.799 × height) – (5.677 × age)
Harris–Benedict Equation Pros
This equation is simple and easy to use. It does not require data on body composition.
