energy need of athlete
30 to 60 kcal/kg/d
choose _ food
nutrient dense
what is considered discretionary calories
alcohol and food with a low nutrient density
Nutrient dense refers to a food that is
rich in nutrients compared to its caloric content
A rule-of-thumb
recommendation is that athletes consume no less than
30 kcal/kg daily,
which macronutrient are considered first in dietary prescriptions
carbs and protein
Because fat intake can be too low, a reason-
able guideline for fat intake for athletes is
~1.0 g/kg of
body weight
what is discretionary calorie
indicate the amount of
kilocalories needed to maintain energy balance after
carbohydrate, protein, and fat recommendations have been met.
A combination of _ is often the best approach for sustained weight (fat) loss,
food restriction and increased
activity
Strategies to increase energy expenditure include
increasing the frequency, intensity, and/or
duration of exercise or including other activities into
the daily lifestyle
The advantages
of a slow weight loss include
less severe restriction of
food intake, consumption of sufficient carbohydrates
to support physical activity, and a sufficient protein in-
take to protect against the loss of muscle mass.
For those who are not struggling with disordered
eating, the general recommendation is to increase caloric intake by approximately
500 kcal
is it a good idea to consume calorie-dense food to increase caloric intake if you want to gain weight
his strategy may be
counterproductive because appetite can be reduced
for many hours afterward and total caloric intake for
the day may not exceed baseline.
do vitamin and mineral have caloric value
no -> contain no energy
The key to eating nutritiously without consuming excess kilocalories is to choose foods that have a high
nutrient density.
why is there still a little amount of fat in skim milk
so that the fatsoluble vitamins A and D can be added to the milk.
why is skim milk is a nutrient-dense food compare to whole milk
it is rich in nutrients relative to its caloric content
. It is more nutrient dense than whole milk because whole milk contains about the same amount of nutrients as skim milk but substantially
more kilocalories.
exemple of nutrient dense food
Fresh fruits and vegetables, Whole grains, beans and legumes,
low-fat meat and poultry, fish, and nonfat or low-fat
dairy products
