Rachael is a runner from Albuquerque, New
Mexico. She has been competing in
marathons for over 10 years and enjoys all
types of challenges. Although she has
competed in a few triathlons, she is not an
experienced swimmer. She plans to train for a
year and then attempt to swim 21 miles in the
Everest Open Water Swim Competition.
Rachael is extremely lean due to running. She
is concerned about the water temperatures as
they are very cold. Your discussion response
must answer/prove the following: 1. What
nutrition recommendations would you give
Rachael in regard to fat intake to address her
physical and dietary needs over the next 12
months as she trains for the swim? Include
suggestions for before, during, and after the
actual swim.
One consequence of starvation is a reduction in muscle mass. What happens to the muscle proteins?
Ed has a bet with Bob that he can lose 5 pounds in two weeks (14 days). He increases his activity so he is burning 2500 calories a day. He has reduced his caloric intake to 1800 calories a day. How much weight will Ed lose in 14 days? Does he win the bet?

She instructed Kate to measure her blood glucose level twice a day before and after breakfast and dinner. Paula explains to Kate that her pre-meal blood glucose level should be 110 mg/dLmg/dL or less, and if it increases by more than 50 mg/dLmg/dL, she needs to lower the amount of carbohydrates she consumes. Kate and Paula proceed to plan several meals. Because a meal should contain about 45 to 60 gg of carbohydrates, they combined fruits and vegetables that have high and low levels of carbohydrates in the same meal to stay within the recommended range. Kate and Paula also discuss the fact that complex carbohydrates in the body take longer to break down into glucose and, therefore, raise the blood sugar level more gradually. Kate increased her exercise to walking 30 minutes twice a day. She began to change her diet by eating 6 small meals a day consisting of more fruits and vegetables without starch such as green…arrow_forward
