Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: The best sources of folic acid are liver and green leafy vegetables. Turkey proves 500 mcg or more per serving of the daily recommended intake of folic acid per serving. Orange juice and oranges can provide at least 50 mcg of the daily recommended intake of folic acid per serving.

Answer to Question 2

C
The best index of appropriate energy intake is maintenance of a competitive and healthy weight. Different percentages of body fat may be appropriate for different types of athletes and different individuals. Specific kcal needs of individuals vary greatly. Hunger is subjective and does not necessarily indicate whether energy intake is appropriate.
