Answer 1

Answer 46:- 1-Carbohydrates

Nutrients are required to provide energy for muscle activities during walking. The carbohydrates act as fast burning fuel and provide instant energy. Fats and proteins though higher in energy content, they require bit more time for metabolism and energy production. The walkathon is a day long walk where energy store must be replenished intermittently. Carbohydrates being a fast burning fuel are most efficient nutrients to support through the day long walk.

Answer 47:- 2-Lunch at 12 pm on the same day

Body mainly uses a pre-workout snack or meal (high in carbohydrate) that has been consumed 30 to 60 minutes before work-out. Carbohydrates are digested and utilized immediately and therefore, meal high in carbohydrates eaten at 12pm (60 minutes before workout) can provide energy to the muscles during workout at 1pm.

Answer 48:- 2-Eggs, bacon and white toast

If the meal is to be consumed 3-4 hours prior to the athletic event, the meal must contain low amount of carbohydrates and high amount of proteins. This is because carbohydrates are digested immediately and hence the energy form carbohydrates would be utilized way before the athletic event. Proteins and fats require time to digest and can act as stable source of energy for an athletic event scheduled after 3-4 hours. Sports drink and wheat toast jam with low fat yogurt contains high amount of carbohydrate hence it is not the optimal meal. Turkey mayonaisee on white bread would have high protein as well as fat content, whereas eggs, bacon and white toast would have high protein and comparatively low fat and low carbohydrates. Thus the diet would be eggs, bacon and white toast.
