He feels that he needs the extra amount just in case he wants to build more muscle mass in the near future. How would you respond to him? Group of answer choices It should be fine because the cells in his body will store the extra amino acids for future use. If he has excess calories in his diet, he may gain fat from converted protein. The extra protein will be used as fuel instead of carbohydrate. His body won't digest the extra protein and will eliminate the excess in feces. The excess amino acids can only be stored for up to 48 hours.arrow_forwardWhich statements about absorption of vitamins or minerals are true? Select all that apply. Micronutrients may be in competition for absorption with each other. Vitamins and minerals are efficiently absorbed by the body between 85% and 99% of what is consumed. To be useful for cellular function, vitamins must remain in their original chemical structure. Calcium found in plant sources is more readily absorbed than from animal sources.

- At Kate's next appointment, Paula showed Kate how to use a glucose meter. She instructed Kate to measure her blood glucose level twice a day before and after breakfast and dinner. Paula explains to Kate that her pre-meal blood glucose level should be 110 mg/dLmg/dL or less, and if it increases by more than 50 mg/dLmg/dL, she needs to lower the amount of carbohydrates she consumes. Kate and Paula proceed to plan several meals. Because a meal should contain about 45 to 60 gg of carbohydrates, they combined fruits and vegetables that have high and low levels of carbohydrates in the same meal to stay within the recommended range. Kate and Paula also discuss the fact that complex carbohydrates in the body take longer to break down into glucose and, therefore, raise the blood sugar level more gradually.
