,A. PROTEINS CAN BE A PRIMARY FUEL SOURCE EVEN IF THERE IS ADEQUATE CARBOHYDRATE
INTAKE.
B. PROTEINS ARE A NECESSARY NUTRIENT TO PROVIDE ENERGY FOR THE BODY IN TIMES OF
STRESS.
C. PROTEINS CAN BE USED AS COENZYME FACTORS DURING CELL METABOLISM.
D. PROTEINS ARE ESSENTIAL TO BUILDING AND REPAIRING TISSUES WITHIN THE BODY.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF PROTEINS IS TO PROVIDE AMINO ACIDS, WHICH ARE THE BUILDING
UNITS NECESSARY TO BUILDING AND REPAIRING TISSUES WITHIN THE BODY. THIS IS A CONSTANT
PROCESS THAT ENSURES ADEQUATE GROWTH AND MAINTENANCE OF TISSUES FOR A STRONG BODY.

CORRECT ANSWER: C
CALCULATE AS FOLLOWS: CARBOHYDRATE PROVIDES 4 KCAL/G, PROTEIN PROVIDES 4 KCAL/G, AND
FAT PROVIDES 9 KCAL/G. THEREFORE:
30 G CARBOHYDRATE 4 KCAL/G = 120 KCAL
3 G PROTEIN 4 KCAL/G = 12 KCAL
1 G FAT 9 KCAL/G = 9 KCAL
= 141 TOTAL KCAL (120 KCAL + 12 KCAL + 9 KCAL)
