A)The amount of grams of carbohydrates that Blake should be consuming on a daily basis is 792 grams of carbohydrates

B)0- 4 hours Prior to His game and practice, Blake should consume at least 320g of carbohydrate.

C)Blake consumes 1280 calories from carbohydrates 0- 4 hours prior to the practice.

E)96 grams of carbohydrates.

F)384 calories

Explanation:

It is recommended by Dieticians and nutritionists

that the maximum amount of carbohydrates per pound of the body weight that a player should consume per day is 4.5 grams .

A) Given Weight of Blake = 176 pounds

Amount of carbohydrates recommended = 4.5 g per pound

Blake carbohydrates consumption per day= 176 X 4.5 = 792 grams

The daily's Blake caloric intake = 3200 calories.

There are 4 grams of carbohydrates present in Each calorie

Hence, Blake consumes = 3200 / 4= 800grams of carbohydrates.

# Therefore, the amount of grams of carbohydrates that Blake should be consuming on a daily basis is 792 grams of carbohydrates

#He should be consuming around 800 g of carbohydrates from his daily calorie intake.

B)Blake should consume 1 - 4 g of carbohydrate per kg body weight prior to his games and practices in order to record good performance in his game and practice

Given Weight of Blake = 176 pounds

To convert the pound to kilograms (kg)

= 176 pounds / 2.2

= 80kg X 4

= 320g of carbohydrates.

Therefore, 0- 4 hours Prior to His game and practice, Blake should consume at least 320g of carbohydrate.

C)There are 4 grams of carbohydrates present in Each calorie

From answer from Part B , Blake should consume at least 320g of carbohydrate, then

There are (320 X 4) calories per day present in 320g of carbohydrates.

(320 X 4)= 1280 calories per day.

Hence,Blake consumes 1280 calories from carbohydrates 0- 4 hours prior to the practice.

E)Once Blake finish practice, he should consume 1.2 g of carbohydrates per kg of body weight.

Then ( 80 X 1.2) = 96 grams of carbohydrates.

Therefore, 96g of carbohydrates should be taken immediately after His game.

F)Converting the 96 gram to calories

=96 X 4 = 384 calories

immediately after practice Blake should consume 384 calories of carbohydrates
