2. Protein in Sports/Athletics
Jonathan is a body builder who weighs 195 lbs. He is concerned about his protein intake.
H. The protein recommendation for strength athletes is 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of
body weight. Calculate the amount of protein that Jonathan needs to consume to meet the
recommendation for strength athletes.
I.
Jonathan consumes about 3500 calories a day and 15% of his calories come from protein.
Would this meet Jonathan's protein needs? (Calculate the number of grams of protein and
compare it to the recommended protein range that you determined for 2.A.)
J.
If 15% of Jonathan's calories come from protein, but he reduces his calorie intake to 2500
calories a day, will he meet his protein needs? (How many grams of protein would he be
consuming?)
