Question

Alicia's goal is to become a world-class endurance athlete. She trains aerobically for at least 90 minutes daily. She weighs 60 kg. Based on this information, what is the minimum number of kilocalories she needs to consume daily to maintain her body weight while in training?

Answer 1

Answer:

2700

Explanation:

It is important to maintain healthy eating when exercising, this is because if you lose more calories than you take in, you are at a deficit, meaning you are losing weight. Simultaneously, if you eat the same amount of calories you burn, you will maintain your weight.

(60 kg x 90 minutes/day) / 2

= 5400 / 2

= 2700
