Proteins are essential nutrients for the human body.

They are one of the building blocks of body tissue, and can also serve as a fuel source.

As a fuel, proteins provide as much energy density as carbohydrates: 4 kcal (17 kJ) per gram; in contrast, lipids provide 9 kcal (37 kJ) per gram.

The most important aspect and defining characteristic of protein from a nutritional standpoint is its amino acid composition.

Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism.

It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion.

A vitamin is an organic compound and a vital nutrient that an organism requires in limited amounts.

An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when the organism cannot synthesize the compound in sufficient quantities, and it must be obtained through the diet; thus, the term vitamin is conditional upon the circumstances and the particular organism.

For example, ascorbic acid (one form of vitamin C) is a vitamin for humans, but not for most other animal organisms.

Supplementation is important for the treatment of certain health problems, but there is little evidence of nutritional benefit when used by otherwise healthy people.

Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated and supervised fashion to decrease, maintain, or increase body weight.

In other words, it is conscious control or restriction of the diet.

A restricted diet is often used by those who are overweight or obese, sometimes in combination with physical exercise, to reduce body weight.

Some people follow a diet to gain weight (usually in the form of muscle).

Diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight and improve health.

In particular, diets can be designed to prevent or treat diabetes.

Calories are units of energy.
