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.
Identify the current Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for the calcium for an average adult
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.
