PART ONE: Billy's Protein Needs Case Study Billy is a 24-year-old male who plays football, works out 3 days a week lifting weights and runs 10 km x 2 days per week. Billy has a goal of playing football at the elite level with the NFL. However, he has observed that most of his teammates are larger, and have more energy to complete training programs than he does. In order to make changes to Billy's nutrition plan you must assess his macronutrient intake, specifically his protein intake and current protein needs. Using the chart provided, find Billy's weight and athlete type. Find Billy's protein requirements and determine whether his one-day dietary log of protein foods (below) is meeting his current need for protein. The following information will help you with this analysis: Height: 6'2" Weight: 190 lbs Age: 24 Athlete type: Elite Endurance Athlete
Billy's Case: (Worth 12 marks) 1. How much daily protein (grams) does Billy require? 2. How much protein is Billy currently consuming based on his one-day dietary log? 3. What is the difference between Billy's requirement as an athlete and the amount that Billy is currently consuming? 4. Consider Billy's age, gender, height & weight and using the Harris Benedict Calculator from Module 2, determine his Daily Energy Requirement (DER). Billy would be considered to have an activity factor of 1.725 (very active). Then, look at the recommended grams of protein that the pre-set AMDR (15%) suggests. Is this comparable to the chart above? By removing the pre-set AMDRS (User Set Limits), what % would be a better fit to the suggest protein levels from the above chart? 5. How might you adjust his current diet to make up the protein difference?
