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
