Assignment task:
1. Joe is a 100kg linebacker for a Division I NCAA football team. He trains to maximize muscular strength, power, and speed. Outline the recommended macronutrients Joe should be consuming each day in g/kg/day fashion and calculate the daily grams needed based on his body weight. Next, identify one supplement that Joe would be most likely to benefit from, as well as its daily recommended dosage.
2. Marsha is a 60kg cross country runner for an NCAA Division I school. She trains to maximize aerobic power and endurance. Outline the recommended macronutrients Marsha should be consuming each day in g/kg/day fashion and calculate the daily grams needed based on her body weight. Next, identify one supplement that Marsha would be most likely to benefit from, as well as its daily recommended dosage.
Carbohydrate: Recommendation = ____ g/kg/day; Intake = ____ g/day
Protein: Recommendation = ____ g/kg/day; Intake = ____ g/day
Fat: Recommendation = ____ g/kg/day; Intake = ____ g/day (hint: make sure fat intake falls within 20-35% total kcals; see supplemental reading)
Supplement: _____ (substance name and dosage)
3. Rationale: To round out your OP, using text and peer-reviewed research, explain your reasoning for the macronutrient and supplementation recommendations made in both scenarios above. Additionally, what considerations, if any, should be made for nutrient timing and food quality, or is quantity the only important factor?
4. Faith Integration: What does the Bible say about nutrition and taking care of our bodies? How should this influence the food choices we make, both in terms of quality and quantity? Include at least three Biblical references as support.
