Q

16 An existing client has been doing very well with meeting daily dietary recommendations with a three-meal per day eating pattern and they have met their goal to reach a healthy body weight with increased muscle tone. They express they would like to now pursue a new goal of a doing a physique competition within the next 12 months. Should the Nutrition Coach recommend they eat more or less frequently to help them meet their goals?

A Nutrition Coach should recommend they continue eating 3 meals per day because protein timing is not important whatsoever.

A Nutrition Coach should recommend they eat less frequent meals because it is not possible to get the low body fat necessary for such a competition eating 3 or more meals per day.

A Nutrition Coach should recommend they eat more-frequent meals because they can more frequently stimulate muscle growth.

A Nutrition Coach does not need to make any recommendations because the goal is not that extreme.

A

A Nutrition Coach should recommend they eat more-frequent meals because they can more frequently stimulate muscle growth.

20
Q

20 Which of the following is true about high-protein snacks?

Protein-based snacks can help with satiety and weight loss but only if they are completely fat-free.

Protein-based snacks without excess fats or carbohydrates can enhance satiety and, therefore, weight loss.

Protein-based snacks offer no benefit to satiety or weight loss.

Protein-based snacks will enhance satiety and weight loss regardless of their fat or carbohydrate content.

A

Protein-based snacks without excess fats or carbohydrates can enhance satiety and, therefore, weight loss.
