Abstract
Biopolymers and micronutrients are of particular importance in the nutrition of athletes compared to the general population. This is because athletes are actively engaged in physical exercise, so both energy production and consumption are intensive. In order to compensate for energy expenditure, special attention should be paid to rational nutrition. It can be observed that ordinary people consume everyday food products in their daily diet. It can be seen that they consume them without paying attention to their nutritional value and balance. This is very important for athletes, especially students, whose nutritional value is of great importance. Ordinary people have less energy consumption than athletes, and those who engage in physical activity fundamentally differ in the quantity, quality and composition of food consumed.
