Answer to Question 1

C
Athletes have high protein needs than nonathletes (1.2 to 1.7 versus 0.8 g/kg, respectively). Most Americans consume the amount of protein recommended for athletes, so most American athletes do not need to increase their protein intake.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: A balanced diet contains a sufficient quantity of each type of food to provide all of the macronutrients and micronutrients needed. It contains adequate amounts of meat and dairy products, along with grains, vegetables, and fruits. One purpose of a balanced diet is to provide the body with energy for essential functions such as maintaining the core temperature. Recommended daily requirements from each food group provide a guide but are not firm rules to follow when planning a diet.
