Question

adam joins the cross - country team and starts to run several miles every day. which change would best fit his nutritional needs? decreasing iron - rich foods increasing calories and water increasing dairy and soy products decreasing protein and saturated fats

Explanation:

When a person starts running several miles daily (increased physical activity), the body needs more energy (calories) to fuel the exercise and more water to stay hydrated. Decreasing iron - rich foods is incorrect as iron is important for oxygen transport during exercise. Increasing dairy and soy products is not a general nutritional need directly related to increased running (it depends on individual needs, not a universal change for this scenario). Decreasing protein and saturated fats is wrong as protein is needed for muscle repair and some fat is a source of energy, and there's no reason to decrease them with increased exercise. So increasing calories and water is the best fit.

Answer:

B. increasing calories and water
