Revise: Role of nutrients15–20% protein.
Paper 2
A nutrient needed for growth and repair of body tissues, including muscles.
Revise: Diet and nutritionThere are seven components to know: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, fibre and water. Eating a variety of foods helps provide them because no single food supplies everything the body needs.
Link protein to growth and repair of muscle tissue, rather than describing it as the main exercise fuel.
Distinguish fuel from recovery: carbohydrate is the main fuel for exercising muscles; protein supports muscle growth and repair.
