CW is a 22-year-old female. She consumes an average of 750 mg/d calcium and 9 micrograms/day vitamin D daily as part of her typical diet. Calculate the percentage of RDA/AI for calcium and vitamin D provided in her typical diet.
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 comma.
