Which oOmar is trying to add muscle mass and has increased his protein intake by drinking two protein supplement shakes each day. If Omar is already consuming adequate calories and nutrients to meet daily needs through food, what can result from protein consumption beyond his body’s needs?f the following is NOT a protein classification?

William, a college junior, is 6 feet tall and weighs 175 pounds. He has been lifting weights since he was a college freshman. Although he has gotten significantly stronger over the last 2 years, he decided he wants to have more muscle definition. He read (mainly on the Internet) a lot about nutrition and resistance training, especially about the role of protein and muscle growth, and decided to take a protein supplement to get bigger muscles and more definition. He has been taking the supplement for about 3 weeks. It consists of a whey protein powder, which he mixes with either water or milk. It contains about 60 grams of protein per serving, and he has 2 protein drinks per day. His breakfasts consist of a protein shake; for lunch, he has a sandwich with extra meat and a small salad with fat-free dressing. He consumes another shake around 4 p.m. and isn't hungry again until about 7 p.m. Yesterday for dinner, he ate 2 chicken breasts with 1/2 cup of rice, a small salad with fat-free dressing, and an iced tea.

Bodybuilders often take protein supplements following a heavy workout in order to build muscle mass. One such supplement is called 100% Whey®, produced by the makers of Muscle Milk®. The protein in whey contains high concentrations of glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids. Please explain how the increased consumption of protein can actually lead to an increased synthesis of fatty acids.

What might happen if a person decides to consume excessive protein daily for an extended period of time? a. The person will build twice the amount of muscle than they would have if they consumed a more moderate amount of protein. b. The person may gain weight because they will be getting more protein than they need and the excess protein could be converted to fat. c. The extra protein may cause kidney damage to develop in the person in the long run. d. All of the above e. Only b and c John is eating about 2500 calories per day (assume that this is a safe number of calories to support his weight loss plan). Based upon current recommendations, how many of those calories should come from protein? a. 500 - 1,000 calories b. 250 - 875 calories c. 1,125 - 1,625 calories d. 1,875 - 2,000 calories e. 800 - 1,500 calories John decided to discuss his efforts to get back into shape and his protein intake with Ivan, a long-time friend. Ivan, who is a vegan, suggested to John that he should consider changing to a lacto-vegetarian diet since John likes milk so much. Ivan challenged John to calculate the number of grams of protein that John would receive in a day's time if he consumed 4 cups of low-fat milk, 4 cups of cooked vegetables, and 10 servings of whole grain products Using the Appendix D Diabetic Food Lists and Chapter 2 General Ground Rules for Diabetes and Weight Management Food Lists, help John calculate the number of protein grams in this amount of food. a. 78 grams of protein b. 156 grams of protein c. 18 grams of protein d. 60 grams of protein e. 110 grams of protein
