Compared to non-athletes, athletes generally need more energy to support
their physically active lifestyles. Athletes who do not consume enough food
energy can lose muscle mass and bone density, experience fatigue and
menstrual irregularities (females), and be at risk of injury. Approximately how
many calories are in this 1-day menu? - correct answer ✔5000 kcal
Ava is a female athlete who trains aerobically for at least 90 minutes per day.
Sports nutrition experts recommend females training at this level consume 45
to 50 kcal per kilogram of body weight per day. How many kilocalories per
kilogram per day is Ava consuming? (Hint: 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds) - correct
answer ✔76 kcal per kilogram of body weight per day
Consuming an additional 500 to 700 kcal per day is a healthy way for anyone
to boost his or her calorie intake. For athletes, choosing calorie- and nutrient-
dense foods, such as nuts and dried fruit, can help achieve energy goals.
Which of the fruit or nut foods in the 1-day menu provides the most calories? -

carbohydrates are in this 1-day menu? - correct answer ✔853
To maintain adequate muscle glycogen, athletes should consume 6 to 10
grams of carbohydrate per kilogram of body weight daily. Glycogen depletion
