Learning Objectives
The course is aimed at acquiring the basic theoretical and methodological principles for the formulation of a nutritional plan for subjects in different physiological and pathological conditions (after medical assessment). The course aims at the theoretical and practical mastery of metabolic evaluation methodologies applied to energy / functional evaluation. The knowledge of the guidelines, the theoretical aspects underlying each illustrated methodology, the relative limits, the applicability, and the correct interpretation of the data collected, are essential training elements of the course as they are fundamental to the practice of the Nutritionist Biologist.
