Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Glucose provides energy for the body and prevents fats and proteins from being used as an energy source. Water prevents dehydration, not glucose. Glucose moves directly into the blood stream where it can be metabolized as an energy source; it does not move to the intestine so it is not digested. The glucose does not in and of itself help one feel better.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A more useful guideline for determining appropriate carbohydrate intake is the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range. It suggests carbohydrates provide 45 to 65 of total calories.
