Question 2. Jeffrey is a weight lifter. He has read that if he eats a high protein diet he will build muscle more quickly. He is 5'8" tall and weighs 160 pounds. He drinks 2 or 3 protein milkshakes daily and includes 2 eggs, a 4-ounce hamburger, and a 6-ounce steak in his daily intake.
a) Assuming that Jeffrey is NOT a body builder, what is his estimated protein need? (Remember that you have to divide pounds by 2.2 to obtain kilograms.)
b) How much protein (in grams) do the eggs, hamburger, and steak provide?
c) Do an internet search on protein supplements or go to a store that sells supplements. How much protein (in grams) does a typical "protein shake" add to the diet?
d) How does his protein intake compare to his requirement?
e) Now assume that Jeffrey IS a body builder. His protein need would average 1.6 g per kg. Does his diet meet his estimated protein need? If not, how much of the protein supplement (you researched in part "c") will he need? What is the additional cost?
