Most people, even those who exercise regularly at low to average intensity (1 hour at the gym or a 2- to 3-mile walk several times per week), do not need an increased protein intake. What would be the protein needs of a man named Josh who exercises moderately and is the same age and size as Wayne? Josh is 5 ft, 8 in tall and weighs 183 lb.Round the number of grams to the nearest whole number. During calculations, use numbers rounded to the first decimal place. Because protein requirement is a range, please enter two numbers: lower and upper range values, respectively. Separate the lower and upper range values, in that order, by a ,.

Answer:

165g, 256g

Step-by-step explanation:

Study has shown that an active person requires the following:

2-3 g protein/kg body weight (0.9-1.4 g protein/lb bodyweight)

Josh is 183lb, we convert the body weight to the required protein intake.

Note that Protein is an energy given food

183 lb X(0.9-1.4 g protein/lb bodyweight)

164.7g

165g----lower range

Because protein requirement is a range, please enter two numbers: lower and upper range values, respectively. Separate the lower and upper range values, in that order, by a ,.

183lb X1.4g protein/lb bodyweight)

256.2

256-----upper range

165g, 256g
