The dynamics of the nutrient status of the test subjects who performed a simulated 22-h flight and consumed preflight and flight diets was investigated. Subjective and objective indications (body mass changes, carbohydrate, N, amino acid, mineral and vitamin metabolism) of excessive nutrition and even acute overeating were seen. To prevent excessive nutrition of pilots and its harmful effects on their performance, special countermeasures need to be developed.
