Profiling Yourself
Do you know how many calories YOU should eat a day to sustain life?
How many calories do you burn per workout? Do you know the recommended breakdown of;
Carbohydrates/Proteins/Fats? Do you know the difference between a Linear and a
Round Diet? If not, how do you determine how much to eat daily? How fluids of water is needed daily or following a high
sweat workout? What foods can you eat to get all your fluid intake?
Fueling the Machine
In Humans >90% of Caloric Intake is based on 2 factors: Metabolic Process (Cell Function, Organs, etc.) Physical Activity
The Food Guide Pyramid is the basis of dietary needs in the US. It is updated every 5 years. Based on Caloric Needs of; Age, Gender, Height,
Weight and Activity Level. www.MYPYRAMID.gov
What Influences Your Eating Choices?
Emotion Convenience Availability Time Cost
Is Your Diet Round or Linear?
Round Diet Varied Eating
Shopping Consists of 20 to 40 Different Types of Food.
Pros Increased Vitamin and
Mineral Intake Increased Immune Function Fast Recovery Weight Control
Cons New Recipes
Linear Diet Repetitive Eating
Shopping List Generally Consists of The Same 10-15 items.
Pros Simple Shopping Minimizes Decisions for
Meals Cons
Inadequate Vitamin and Mineral Intake
Chronic Fatigue Slow Recovery Reduced Immune

Endurance Sport = Weight-to-Strength Ratio Lohman Equation – Designed by the sports nutrition
community to reliably determine nutritional needs for athletes;
(9 x Wht in Kg) + 11.7 x Ht in cm) – 857=RMR 175lb (79.5kg) Athlete, 5’11” (180.3cm) (9 x 79.5) + (11.7 x 180.3) – 857=1,965/Kcal/da 1,965 x 1.6 = 3,144/kcal/day
lbs to kg = 175 ÷ 2.2 = 79.5kg In to cm = 71 x 2.54 = 180.3cm
Once RMR is established, apply a multiplier to account for activity level;
1.3 for Inactive (≤30min/day) 1.6 for Moderately Active (30 to 60min/day) 2.0 for Vigorous Activity (≥60min/day)
ADA Recommendations
Five Rules to Control Weight Establish Caloric Needs and Goals
Utilize the Lohman Equation Utilize a Online Tracker
www.livestrong.com, www.dailyplate.com, www.webmd.com Increase Meal Frequency
Weight control is based on Calories-In vs. Calories-Out, NOT eating time, carbohydrates or # of meals.
Multiple Meals is highly recommended, but not always feasible or necessary.
Maintain a Balanced (Round) Diet Review ‘Round vs. Linear’ Slide
Talk About It Post goals, share with friends or teammates helps to make
the goal ‘Concrete’ and increases chances of success

Hydration 101
Sweat Factors Sport, Body Size, Intensity, Clothing, Weather,
Acclimation to Weather and Fitness Level Weight loss can exceed 20lbs/hr
How do you know if you are hydrated or chronically dehydrated; Weigh Nude Daily in the Morning
Empty Bladder and Bowels Factors that affect test; Calorie Restriction, Low
Sodium Intake Night Before, Not Experiencing Premenstrual Bloating
Hydration 102
Dehydration Symptoms (Fatigue, Headaches, Lethargic Sodium – 1qt Gatorade (440mg) Potassium – 1md Banana (450mg) Calcium – 8oz Yogurt (300mg) Magnesium – 2 tbsp Peanut Butter (50mg)
Thirst mechanism is unreliable Blunted by exercise or mind Thirst is associated with;
1% loss of water = 1.5lbs or 3 to 5 heart beats/min 2% loss of water ≥ 3lbs or Clinically Dehydrated 3% loss of water ≥ 4.5lbs or Impaired Aerobic Performance
Pre-Exercise Fluids
Hydration Practices Begin 8 to 12 Hours in Advance Pre-hydration Goal is To Consume 2 or 3 ml/lb
or 5 to 7ml/kg 4 Hours in Advance of Exercise to Balance Body
150lb (68kg); 150 x 2 = 300 - 450ml or 10 to 15oz Hydrating Early Allows for Absorption and
Clearance of Un-needed Fluids *Don’t Over Hydrate, This Dilutes Blood-Sodium and
Causes Hyponatremia 12oz of Caffeinated Coffee Is Ok, It Will Not Boost
Daily Urine Output.
Hydrating During Exercise
Goal is To Prevent Excessive Dehydration; Defined by More Than a 2% Body Weight Loss Knowing Your Sweat Rate Helps to Answer
the Following Questions; What to Drink?
Fluid Replacer Should Contain; Sod – Stimulates Thirst (110-170mg per 8oz) Pot – Sweat Loss (20-50mg per 8oz) Carb – Provides Energy (12-24g per 8oz)
Hydrating During Exercise (Cont.)
When to Drink? Determined By Length of Workout
≤ 60 Minutes – Water Suffices 2 or More Hours - 120 to 240 Carbohydrates with
Water (30 to 60g) Sports Drinks, Fruit, Boiled Foods
Post-Exercise Fluids
Goal is to Fully Replace Fluid/Electrolyte Loss Single Workout Day
Normal Meals Following a Round Diet Double/Triple Workout Day
Normal Meals Sprinkle Extra Salt (Not for High Risk Individuals) Supplement Drink 50% More Fluid Than Lost
Fluid Recovery Can Take 48 Hours for BT Workouts
Hyponatremia and Sodium Loss
Over-Hydrating vs. Hydrating Kidneys Regulate Fluid Intake
Hydrate Up to 2 Hours Before Events, Then 15 Minutes Before Race Start
Hyponatremia Means Blood-Sodium Levels Become Abnormally Low
Events Less Than 4 Hours Over-hydrating Before, During and After Event
Events Longer Than 4 Hours Extreme Sodium Loss Heat Environments, High Water
Intake, Look for Supplements or Foods Containing 250-
500mg of Sodium Per Hour Heat Acclimated Athletes Have the Ability to Retain
Higher Sodium Amounts
Deciphering Supplements FDA regulates dietary supplements under a different set of regulations
than those covering "conventional" foods and drug products (prescription and Over-the-Counter). Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), the dietary supplement manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that a dietary supplement is safe before it is marketed. FDA is responsible for taking action against any unsafe dietary supplement product after it reaches the market. Generally, manufacturers do not need to register their products with FDA nor get FDA approval before producing or selling dietary supplements.* Manufacturers must make sure that product label information is truthful and not misleading.
FDA's post-marketing responsibilities include monitoring safety, e.g. voluntary dietary supplement adverse event reporting, and product information, such as labeling, claims, package inserts, and accompanying literature. The Federal Trade Commission regulates dietary supplement advertising. Most Actions are taken following a series of catastrophic instances. If reports are not filed, then the FDA doesn’t know about them.
