Consuming the right number of calories to sustain performance
and enhance recovery is vital to an athlete's success. Not only
does proper eating help with athletes, but it helps everyday people
live their lives. When comparing dietary reference intakes, which
method is the least accurate at describing what one must
consume?
Adequate Intake
[an AI is assigned when insufficient evidence exists to assign
calculate an EAR or RDA (page 10)]
If you are not a licensed or registered dietitian/nutritionist, you

information provided is in the public domain and there is no
attempt to prescribe any specific foods as part of the education.
(page 6)]
, Which of the following is the body's direct source of energy for
cellular work?
Adenosine triphosphate
[Adenosine triphosphate is the body's direct source of energy for
cellular work.]
Which of the following is a potential benefit of increased meal
frequency observed in non-athletic populations?
Reduced serum insulin levels
[Increased meal frequency has been shown to lower serum insulin
levels, which can improve glucose metabolism and reduce fat
deposition]
Although the majority of minerals released during digestion are
absorbed in the small intestine, which mineral is absorbed in the
large intestine?
All of these are correct (chloride, sodium, potassium)
[Some electrolyte absorption occurs in the large intestine. (page
41)]
,Bob eats his breakfast, and his gastrointestinal tract begins the
process of digestion. Which of the following is the appropriate
sequence for digestion?
Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum

Parker is eating an apple, which contains simple sugars. Once the
sugars reach the intestinal wall, they are ready for absorption. If the
simple sugars must be moved against a concentration gradient,
then what is known about the mechanism for absorption?
Absorption is driven by active transport
[moving a nutrient against its concentration gradient requires the
input of energy from ATP in a process known as active transport
(page 31)]
