Answer:

1. 0.8 grams

2. 51 grams

Explanation:

a. The recommended daily allowance of protein for every individual per kilogram of healthy body weight is 0.8grams. The same standard applies to Erin.

b. The recommended daily protein requirement is obtained by multiplying the body weight (in kilograms) to the Protein RDA.

For Erin, this will mean converting her weight in pounds to kilograms.

141 pounds = 63.9565kg

Recommended daily protein requirement equals

63.9565 kg * 0.8 grams

= 51.16grams approximately,

51 grams.

Compare and contrast mental health and emotional health.

Female bodybuilders and women with eating disorders often stop having menstrual cycles. what does this relationship suggest abou
erma4kov [3.2K]
Having body fat contributes to having a menstrual cycle. If a woman loses too much body fat, she can stop having her menstrual cycle because you need a certain amount for it to be able to function as normal. I don't think the body would benefit from ceasing to menstruate, because at that point it isn't really healthy. However, usually if a woman gains back some of the body fat or starts eating fattier foots/exercising less, her period will start again.
