Therese is a 45-year-old lawyer and masters swimmer. Swim practices are held at 11:30 AM or 6:00 PM at a pool near her office. Therese is frustrated because she gets very hungry during the day, and therefore, has a difficult time swimming strongly throughout either a noon or evening practice. She often leaves practice early because she becomes extremely hungry and sometimes lightheaded. She eats a bagel with fat-free cream cheese and a banana for breakfast, and a turkey sandwich with fat-free yogurt and baby carrots for lunch, every day. Questions: Why is Therese so hungry throughout the day? What dietary changes would you recommend to Therese, based on the brief food recall provided?
