20 oz for every pound
MIn of 5 - 10 oz every 15 min during exercise

? gm FAT = ? kcals
67 gm of fat = 600 kcals
US Dietary Guidelines for fat, CHO, and Protein
1. 58% CHO (55-60%)
2. <30% Fat
3. 12% Protein (12-15%)
Examples of CHO
Strawberries, cherries, bread, french fries, donuts, nuts, etc.
Simple Carbs
MONO & DIsaccharide
(have same # of kcals and complex & both are sugars)
Complex Carbs
POLYsaccharides
They have more nutrient value & stable blood glucose &
Avoid "crashes" after high peak --> neg hormonal changes --> fat deposition
How much Fiber should you consume in a day?
25 gm
Good sources of fiber
whole grains, wheat bran, veggies
All carbs are broken down into ______ carbs
simple
Net carbs =
= total carbs gm - FIBER & sugar alcohols (indigestible)
Glycemic Index defn.
rating 1 - 100 of how quickly foods raise blood glucose & insulin levels
Carbs that break down quickly =
HIGH glycemic index; refined, starchy foods (GI = >70)
Carbs that break down slowly =
LOW glycemic index; nonstarchy veggies, fruit and legumes
(GI = <55)
Glycemic Load =
real impact on blood glucose level; amount of carb adjusted for its GI

GL = (GI x amount of carb) / 100
LOW GL =
in general, low GI
GL (<10)
HIGH GL =
20+
Where does your body store glycogen? Glucose?
Glycogen= in liver and skeletal muscles
Glucose = carried in blood
What happens to excess CHO?
1. stored in muscles or liver as GLYCOGEN
2. converted and stored as FAT
CHO recommendations
7-10 gm/kg/bw
How much CHO needed in your diet formula?
1. Your wt in lbs = ______
2. Divide by 2.2= ______ kg
3. ______ kg x your activity level (6-13)
4. = ______gm CHO/day
If you exercise for an extended period of time, the recommended CHO intake/hour is _______to _______ gm.
30 - 60 gm of CHO
** carbs during exercise may also help boost immunity
What is the “window of opportunity” for replenishing glycogen in your body?
sooner = better
(30 - 45 min)
What does your body use protein for? How much does protein contribute to energy production?
The "building blocks" of tissue; enzymes are proteins

NOT a major energy source
US dietary guidelines for PROTEIN
12- 15% total kcals
4 kcal/gm
COMPLETE protein:
contain all the essential amino acids (can't be synthesized within the body)
INCOMPLETE protein:
contain only SOME of the essential amino acids (CAN be synthesized in body or provided in food)
What are some factors that help determine how much protein is recommended for an exerciser?
1. Exercise type
2. Intensity & duration
3. degree/level of training
4. Glycogen availability
5. Total kcal/CHO intake
6. Habitual protein intake
How much protein is recommended for the average person? How is this different for exercisers?
@ rest = 2-5% of Kcals
@ exercise = 4-15% of Kcals
Why might some athletes consume too much protein?
1. average american diet contains large servings
2. MIsconceptions about protein needs
3. # of americans "on a diet"
Which categories of athletes might be at risk of consuming too little protein?
Females; or those over-emphasizing high carb foods
US Dietary guidelines for FAT
< 30% total caloric intake

or 9 kcal/gm
Where are triglycerides stored? Which energy system uses them (fatty acids) for energy?
Stored in Adipose & skeletal muscle
Aerobic energy production
Saturated fat
Animal sources.
Solid at room temp
Linked 2/ inc cholesterol levels
Ex: meat, butter, and lard
Unsaturated fat
Plant sources
Liquid at room temp
Ex: corn oil, olive oil and canola oil
Trans fatty acids
unsat fats --> sat w/ hydrogen ions --> inc shelf life & flavor + stability (Hydrogenation of unsat fats)

Ex: deep fried and processed foods
What are the potential health implications of consuming large quantities?
it inc LDL levels, which may lower HDL levels
Omega - 3 fatty acids
1. stabilize heart's rhythm
2. dec sudden cardiac death
3. Prevent unwanted blood clots from forming
4. help lower triglycerides and reduce inflammation

EX: fish oil and flaxseed oil
What does your body use cholesterol for?
1. Forms some hormones
2. Aids in digestion
3. NOT a source of energy
4. high levels linked w/ cardio disease
How do the US Dietary Guidelines for fat intake compare to those published by the World Health Organization?
US = < 30% fat or 9 Kcal/gm
World = min. fat intake of 15% of total energy intake
WOMEN = at least 20% of total kcals
What are some benefits of consuming a low fat diet?
1. Allows for adequate CHO and protein intake
2. Minimize gastointestinal upset
3. control/regulate body weight
4. prevent chronic disease
Water Soluble Vitamins
