Question

Michael is a 17-year-old high school football player who has recently been doing "two a day" practices in preparation for the upcoming season. He is in good physical condition at 70 inches and 165 pounds. He is attempting to gain weight, so he has increased his intake of protein foods and estimates he eats approximately 3500 kcalories a day. One particularly hot afternoon, Michael is sweating profusely and begins to feel weak and has a difficult time keeping up with his usual practice routines. Noticing that his face is visibly flushed, his coach has him sit out of practice. Michael reports having eaten two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, potato chips, and a can of soda for lunch, about 2 hours before practice. He had a breakfast burrito with eggs and cheese for breakfast with a 12-ounce glass of orange juice.

5. Michael experienced dehydration symptoms during his practice for all of the following reasons except:

a. He is eating a high protein diet which increases fluid requirements.

b. No additional fluids were consumed within 2 hours of practice.

c. He consumed 12 oz of soda, an inappropriate beverage before an activity because the bubbles make a person feel full quickly and limit fluid intake.

d. Fluids were consumed during the practice.

e. He sweated profusely during practice.

8. Which of the following daily food choices would be best to help Michael meet his daily calcium requirement?

a. 8 oz of calcium and vitamin D-fortified orange juice, 16 oz low fat milk, and 1 oz cheddar cheese

b. 2 cups spinach salad with dressing, 16 oz low fat milk, 6 oz Greek yogurt, and 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

c. 8 oz of calcium and vitamin D-fortified orange juice, and 24 oz of low fat milk

d. Egg and cheese burrito, 12 oz of calcium and vitamin D-fortified orange juice, and 8 oz milk
