Timing and Selection of Nutrient Intake with Exercise
We are going to "choose our own adventure" with this Case Study on determining our intake of different nutrients to coordinate with our
energy needs. In this first section, select the demographic information you would like to work with throughout this assignment. You may choose
for this information to be your own, but you are not required to use your own. The content [brackets] is information to help you complete
the section but should be deleted and/or replaced before submission.

Carbohydrates (14 points)
[This section will be focused on Carbohydrate recommendations; you will use content from Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 materials to complete this
section. You will also use the resource provided in Lesson 1 from the USDA: https://www.nal.usda.gov/human-nutrition-and-food-safety/dri-
calculator to calculate estimate total energy needs, use the demographic information above to complete this calculation.]

[Please note: With the calculations above, keep in mind that if you selected a lower activity level, as you calculate out higher activity levels of
carbohydrate need, your total krals/day will also increase. Conversely, the activity level you identify in the DRI calculator may align more closely
with the General Carbohydrate Intake Recommendations and Moderate Exercise Program needs if you selected a higher activity level.]]
Timing Carbohydrate Intake
Your Case Study Participant is going to be competing in an endurance activity that will last approximately 120 minutes (2 hours), please
identify the amount of carbohydrates you will want them to consume based on the parameters below:
Timing of Intake
2 hours before activity
30 minutes into activity
60 minutes into activity
90 minutes into activity
Within 30 minutes of completing activity.
2 hours after completing activity
Amount of Intake
Protein (4 points)
Use the Case Study Demographics to calculate Protein Intake needs as identified below:
