What is the daily value used for labeling purposes set at for FAT? - answer:-2,000 kcal
per day with 20-35% from FAT
What is the daily value used for labeling purposes set at for CHO? - answer:-2,000 kcal
per day with 45-65% from CHO
What is the total kcal/day for Males - answer:-~3,000 total kcal/day
What is the total kcal/day for Females - answer:-~2,000 total kcal/day
How does the textbook DEFINE "DAILY VALUE" - answer:-Daily Value is defined as
how much of a specific nutrient an individual needs to ingest in their daily diet
EXPLAIN why the "DAILY VALUE" differs from the values generally recommended for
healthy, active adults - answer:-When trying to differentiate between daily value and just
values recommended for healthy active adults, it is a bit difficult to be precise because it
all depends on the individual. To make it easier, one would use the five fitness
components to determine what that person's specific daily value should be.
What is the recommended intake for PRO (in grams) for a 2400kcal/day diet according
to most nutrition governing bodies such as the USDA? (note: this range is different than

According to the textbook, name an essential nutrient that U.S. adults get too much of.
In such a case, describe WHY this extra intake causes increased disease/disease risk. -
answer:-According to the textbook, Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that U.S. adults
consume too much of. Usually for most people, a large orange or a cup of strawberries
is enough for their daily dose. Any extra is simply flushed out the body by our urine.
Very high doses are known to cause gastric pain and diarrhea. While low dosages can
help prevent cataracts in turn high levels could increase the risk.
CrossFit is an anaerobic-type workout _____ - answer:-It's anaerobic in a way that the
actions taken to complete this type of exercise are explosive (HIGH intensity) and short
timed (small duration), thus requiring the immediate and glycolysis system.
CrossFit will promote fat loss _____ - answer:-Doing crossfit can promote weight loss
because of how HIGH the intensity workouts are. Depending on the duration of the
, Exercise Nutrition Chapter #1 UTSA
workout, if it lasts for about an hour the aerobic FAT system will be the primary energy
system.
CrossFit will use ONLY carbohydrates for energy _____ - answer:-This statement is
TRUE/FALSE, because sessions are normally HIGH in intensity and short in time.
However as the session begins the immediate energy system will be the first to take
place, then the anaerobic glycolytic system will catch up (CHO), and if the session lasts
long enough for the aerobic FAT system to catch up then FAT becomes the primary
energy system.
In AT LEAST 3 sentences, explain why the product called "Zero-Calorie SUPER Vitamin
C + MEGA Caffeine ENERGY Drink" does OR does not give your body energy. -
answer:-We have already discussed what too much Vitamin C does to the body now
lets look at the "MEGA Caffeine ENERGY Drink" label. This is not recommended
because such high levels causes major health issues, including irregular heartbeat and
seizures. It is also considered that when ingesting too much caffeine this can keep an
individual stimulated for a couple of hours or more depending on how much is
consumed however instead of their body spreading the energy out, it is used up super
fast and causes what is known as a "crash" and low energy.
