ASSESSING PROTEIN NEEDS Calculate the protein needs for the following individuals. Use the recommended values for protein intake on the protein power point. Activity Grams/kg Sedentary 0.8 Regular exerciser < 6 hours/week 1.0 Regular exercise, ≥ 6 hours/week 1.2 Endurance-trained 1.2 - 1.4 Strength-trained, maintenance 1.4 - 1.6 Strength-trained, building 1.6 – 2.0 Intermittent, high intensity 1.4 - 1.7 Sam, a 189-pound regular exerciser, trains 4 hours/week in the weight room and runs or bikes 2-4 hours per week. Calculate his protein requirement in grams per day. Mary is a vegetarian and a sedentary office worker who weighs 148 pounds. Calculate her estimated protein requirements in grams per day. She is currently eating about 50 grams per day. Is her intake adequate? John weighs 165 pounds and lifts weights 3 days per week for about an hour. He consumes about 150 grams of protein per day to help him gain muscle. How many grams of protein per kg is he eating? Is his intake considered excessive?

How much protein would an 80 kg man need to consume in order to meet the recommended daily Intake of 0.8 g per kilogram of body weight? 100g 16 g 80 g 64 g
Where is the limit for optimal muscle building and protein intake according to studies? Alternative 1. 3.5-4.2 g per kilogram of body weight per day Option 2. 1.8-2 g per kilogram of body weight per day Option 3. 2.8-3.5 g per kilogram of body weight per day Option 4. 0.5-1 g per kilogram of body weight per day
