Carbohydrates (14 points)
(This section will be focused on nutritional carbohydrate recommendations and the calculations of USDA DRI calculator to calculate estimate total energy
needs, use the the information above to complete the chart below.]
Total Carbohydrate Intake
Estimated Energy Requirement
[USDA DRI Calculator results; in kcals/day]
General Carbohydrate Intake Recommendation [in grams of carbohydrates/day]
Recommendations with Moderate Exercise
Program Participation
[in grams of carbohydrates/day]
Recommendations with Endurance Exercise
Program Participation
[in grams of carbohydrates/day]
Recommendation with Extreme Endurance
Particination
(in grams of carbohydrates/day]
[Please note: With the calculations above, keep in mind that if you selected a lower activity level, as you calculate out higher activity levels of carbohydrate
need, your total kcals/day will also increase. Conversely, the activity level you identify in the DRI calculator may align more closely with the General
Carbohydrate Intake Recommendations and Moderate Exercise Program needs if you selected a higher activity level.]
Timing Carbohydrate Intake
Your Case Study Participant is going to e competing an endurance activity that will last approximately 120 minutes (2 hours), please identify the
