Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A low-carbohydrate diet increases the rate of amino acid utilization during exercise, as the body uses protein (amino acids) as a fuel source in the absence of sufficient carbohydrates. This leads to an increased rate of nitrogen excretion in sweat. A high-carbohydrate diet, on the other hand, provides the body with enough carbohydrates for fuel, reducing the need for protein as an energy source. A high-fat diet may also affect the rate of amino acid utilization but is not mentioned in the question. A low-protein diet may reduce nitrogen excretion in sweat but does not increase the rate of amino acid utilization during exercise.
