Remember that you are building a client report/profile for your athlete over the next 5 weeks. Each week’s assignment and discussion will relate specifically to your
“athlete” as an active individual. If you did select yourself as the “athlete” and are not currently active you need to make sure you utilize a friend/family
member/client/athlete etc. that fits the definition outlined in the opening NPP of an athlete. You will use the same “athlete” for the entire course over 5 discussions
and 4 assignments to build your final client report. This week’s practical application will relate to CHOs, and next week the same subject will be observed for
protein.

For this assignment:

Report your athlete’s height, weight, and activity level (PA)* (typical amount and type of exercise (intensity, duration and type specifying as strength/power,
endurance, recreational athlete) (4 pts).

*You will need to determine your Physical activity (PA) level and energy requirements using the ACSM/ADA position stand “Nutrition and Athletic Performance” (figure
2). The PA value should reflect recommended energy intake for type of athlete.

Based on this information, cite and show your work for all calculations a-d below/round all values to nearest whole number. Selection of grams should reflect PA and
type of athlete as well as match recommendations for nutrient range. Reference (in parentheses) all values with brief explanation supporting your selection for your
type of athlete (14 pts):

total kcals needed daily (*calculation from DRI figure 2 stated above)

CHO grams recommended for your type of athlete

total grams of CHOs daily (CHO recommended grams x kg body weight)

total kcals of CHO daily (total grams x 4 kcals (of CHO in each gram)

calculated % of the 100% daily intake (total CHO kcals daily/total daily kcals x 100% = daily %); state and reference recommended range for your type of athlete
