This article discusses the important role of dietitians in hospitals and food service. Although most of us are familiar with this, it is a great review of all the roles that an RD is able to take part in to help with patient care.

More specifically, the amino acid leucine is used for energy.              It is important to consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates exercise to delay fatigue and minimize gastrointestinal distress.
