Optimal Nutrient Intake for High School Basketball Player
Calculate nutrient needs for a 135-pound male high school basketball player based on 2700 Cal/day, 7g CHO/kg, and 1.8g P/kg. If they follow a meal pattern with specific exchanges of milk, fruit, vegetables, bread, VLF meat, and fat, their requirements for calories, carbohydrates, and protein would be met.

Practice Problem • Subject: • 135 pound male high school basketball player • Nutrient needs: • 2700Cal/day, 7gC/kg, 1.8gP/kg • Typical food intake • 3 milk exchanges • 15 fruit exchanges • 6 vegetable exchanges
135 lbs / 2.2 = 61kg • CHO • 7gCHO/kg x 61kg = 427gCHO • 427gCHO x 4Cal/g = 1708Cal CHO • 1709CalCHO/2700Cal = 63% CHO • PRO • 1.8gPRO/kg x 61kg = 110gPRO • 110gPRO x 4Cal/g = 439CalPRO • 439CalPRO/2700Cal = 16%PRO • FAT • 2700-1708-453 = 553Cal FAT • 553CalFAT/9Cal/g = 61gFAT

Therefore, if this athlete followed this meal pattern: • 3 exchanges of NF milk (1cup/serving) • 15 exchanges of fruit (small size) • 6 exchanges of vegetables (0.5 cup/serving) • 9 exchanges of bread (9 slices, 0.5-.75c cereal) • 7 exchanges of VLF meat (7 oz) • 9 exchanges of fat (1 tsp, may be used with NF milk or VLF meat exchanges) This would meet the recommended intake for Calorie, g CHO and g PRO
