To identify:
Two critical periods of life that demand high nutrient intake and defend the use of the vegetarian diet at this time. Also, discuss the nutrient challenge and the solutions at these stages.
Introduction:
Nutritional requirements vary with different stages of human life. To maintain a healthy life and body function, it is important to intake a nutritious diet that includes adequate protein, carbohydrate, and fat along with essential vitamins and minerals, and fatty acids. Here, we identify the two most crucial period of life that need high nutrient intake. Also, we need to discuss the challenges and solutions related to life stages.

Based upon his readings, Kip knows that dietary protein is needed to help his muscles recover from training. He is now convinced that a high fat, high protein, low carbohydrate diet may be the best choice. As Kip’s nutrition coach you disagree. Answer the following questions: A. What energy systems does an athlete running the 800m event rely on for energy? B. Bioenergetically, what are the nutrition needs to support energy for Kip’s competition? C. Is Kip on the right track with regard to nutrient intake? D. How would you explain whether or not he should follow this new diet?arrow_forward
