Abstract
Objectives. The main components of diet are proteins, carbohydrates sand fats that are essential for
vital processes support and renewal of energy expenditure, for successful physical activities outcomes (Lutz, et al., 2012; Wentz, et al., 2014). Individual dietary intake depended on nutrition education, knowledges and behaviour (Sygit, K., 2016). The aim of the study was determined effect of nutritional education to nutritional behaviour respondents with standard BMI level and respondents with overweight BMI level that based on dietary diary analysis of precourse diet and post-course diet.
Materials and Methods. The study group included physically active respondents (N = 42) in aged 22-
35 years. We provided anthropometric measurements, calculates body mass index and divided participants into: respondents with BMI < 25 and BMI > 25. Respondents participated in nutrition education course, and completed the three-day pre-course and post-course dietary diary questionnaire (Willett, 2013). The collecting data allowed calculate the amount of daily dietary components (proteins, carbohydrates) in precourse diet and post-course diet as well total diet energy (in kcal). The statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 version. Comparison between two BMI groups was undertaken using Mann-Whitney U Test because of the non-normal distribution of the data. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The study was carried out according to ethical rules for obtaining and processing data.
Results. Analysis of pre-course dietary diary shown no statistically exact significant difference of main
components (protein, carbohydrates, fat) level in diet of respondents with overweight BMI and with standard BMI value. Analysis of post-course diet shown statistically exact significance of fat level (p = 0.011) and carbohydrates level (p = 0.002) in selected cohort of respondents.
Conclusions. Nutrition education has an impact on the choice of products and diet components. There
are differences in diet of respondents with overweight BMI and with standard BMI value.
