  1. What is the role of insulin in the body related to nutrition?

    Answer: Stimulates glucose uptake into cells

    Insulin, released by the pancreas in response to elevated blood glucose, facilitates glucose uptake into muscle, liver, and fat cells.

  2. Which type of cholesterol is considered 'good' and helps remove excess cholesterol from arteries?

    Answer: HDL (high-density lipoprotein)

    HDL cholesterol transports excess cholesterol from the arteries back to the liver for removal, reducing cardiovascular risk.

  3. What is the AMDR (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range) for dietary fat?

    Answer: 20–35% of total calories

    The AMDR for fat is 20–35% of total daily caloric intake to support hormone production and fat-soluble vitamin absorption.

  4. What is the primary storage form of carbohydrates in the human body?

    Answer: Glycogen

    Glycogen is the primary storage form of carbohydrates, stored in the liver (~100g) and skeletal muscles (~400g).

  5. Which dietary approach involves restricting caloric intake to a specific daily time window?

    Answer: Intermittent fasting

    Intermittent fasting restricts food consumption to a specific time window each day, such as the 16:8 method (16 hours fasting, 8 hours eating).

  6. What is the most accurate field method for estimating body composition used by ACE-certified trainers?

    Answer: Skinfold calipers
