What's the purpose of intestinal villi? It provides macro and micro-nutrient absorption, right? For reference: Macronutrients are the ones you see on food labels: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals (vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K. Nutrients like iron, magnesium, calcium, and so on).

So if a person has fewer of them, that means that they absorb nutrients at a slower rate. 

Macronutrients have energy values, expressed in Calories (side note: always capitalize the C, or note them as kcal, because a Calorie is 1,000 calories... don't ask me why that is because I don't know). If you're absorbing fewer Calories than you're expending, you won't gain weight.


Therefore, I'd expect these people to be underweight.

Lino is a linebacker on his college football team. He is concerned about achieving adequate hydration during intense, hot summer
Finger [1]

Answer:

10-15 cups of water per practice session

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in this scenario Lino should be consuming about 10-15 cups of water per practice session. This is because, studies have shown that an athlete should consume about 2-3 cups of fluid for every pound lost during exercise. Therefore multiplying this number by the 5 pounds that Lino loses per practice session would equal 10 - 15 cups per session.
