The number of calories, or energy, an athlete needs to maintain weight depends on age, body weight, gender, and total energy expenditure (TEE). TEE includes two major components: 1. Resting energy expenditure (REE): the amount of calories needed to maintain basic body systems and body temperature at rest. 2. Activity energy expenditure (AEE): the amount of calories used during activity. Maintenance or change in body weight is summarized in the formulas: • Weight maintenance Calorie intake = TEE • Weight gain Calorie intake > TEE • Weight loss Calorie intake < TEE Alert! For weight loss, total calorie intake should not be less than REE, unless a physician is supervising weight loss. Calculating total daily calorie needs The number of calories needed to maintain a certain body weight can be estimated by multiplying a person’s REE by an appropriate Activity Factor (AF). Choose one of the formulas in table 1 to calculate REE, and then use the information from table 2 to choose an appropriate AF. Formula 2 gives a slightly more accurate estimate of your calorie needs than formula 1. Table 1. Formulas for estimating calorie needs for resting energy expenditure (REE)† Formula 1: Males: REE calories = 11 x body weight in pounds Females: REE calories = 10 x body weight in pounds Formula 2: Males: REE Calories = 66.47 + 13.75 (weight, kg) + 5 (height, cm) – 6.76 (age, yr) Females: REE Calories = 655.1 + 9.65 (weight, kg) + 1.84 (height, cm) – 4.68 (age, yr) Key: kg = kilograms (pound/ 2.2), cm = centimeters (inches x 2.54), age = age (years), †Equations are for healthy people.

Adequate daily protein intake is essential for muscle and tissue repair, muscle growth, and regulation of metabolism. Most athletes eat enough protein, and some even eat more than they need, believing it will help increase their muscle mass. Protein intake in excess of daily need is either used for energy when carbohydrate and calorie intake is low or is stored as fat. A gram of protein contains 4 calories. Estimating protein needs Use the guidelines below to determine much protein you need daily. Protein needs Activity level grams/pound body weight Sedentary 0.36 Recreational endurance* 0.36 Recreational resistance (strength) training 0.36 Moderate intensity endurance** 0.54 Elite female endurance athletes 0.53–0.63 Elite male endurance athletes 0.72 Resistance- (strength-) training athletes (consistent training, mid-season, for maintenance of muscle 0.53–0.63 mass) Cross-training or intermittent, high-intensity training 0.63–0.77 athletes (basketball, soccer, hockey) Resistance- (strength-) training athletes (early 0.68–0.81 training and/or promotion of muscle mass growth) *4-5 times/week for 30 minutes at <55% VO2 max; **4-5 times/week for 40-60 minutes Adapted from: Tarnopolsky 1999, Lemon 2000. Estimate your protein needs Protein Recommended daily Activity level needs X Body weight = protein need (grams) (grams) (pound) Moderate intensity 0.54 X 150 =81 endurance athlete Fill in your activity level, the corresponding protein requirement for this activity level, and your own weight (in pounds) in the blank and calculate your protein needs. Your Protein Your Recommended daily activity level needs X body weight = protein need (grams) (grams) (pounds) X= Planning your daily protein intake Use the Sports Food Swap© as a guide for selecting foods from all six food groups-- grains or legumes, vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products, meats and meat alternatives, and fats and sweets--to supply the recommended intake levels of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Here is an example of how a male endurance athlete who weighs 150 pounds can meet his protein needs of 81 grams per day using the Sports Food Swap©. Grams of Number of Grams Food group Serving size protein per servings of serving X per day = protein Grains 1 oz or ½ cup & 3 x 8 = 24 starchy vegetables ½ cup (cooked) Vegetables ½ cup (cooked), 2 x 3 = 6 1 cup raw Fruits 1 fruit or ½ cup 0 x 4 = 0 Milk products 1 cup 8 x 2 = 16 Meats and meat 1 oz 7 x 5 = 35 alternatives Protein Needs Fats and sweets Fats 1 tsp 0 x 3 = 0 Nuts and seeds 1 tbsp 1 x 1 = 1 Sugars 1 tbsp 0 x 2 = 0 Total = 82 Use the workspace to choose how many servings from each of the food groups you can eat to meet your daily protein requirements. Vegetarians or those on special diets may not include all the food groups. Grams of Number Grams protein of Food group Serving size X of per servings = protein serving per day Grains 1 oz or ½ cup and 3 x = starchy vegetables ½ up (cooked) Vegetables ½ cup (cooked), 2 x = 1 cup raw Fruits 1 fruit or ½ cup 0 x = Milk products 1 cup 8 x = Meats and meat 1 oz 7 x = alternatives Fats and sweets Fats 1 tsp 0 x = Nuts and seeds 1 tbsp 1 x = Sugars 1 tbsp 0 x = Total = Protein Needs Handout #3 Carbohydrate Needs Estimating carbohydrate needs Use these guidelines to see how much carbohydrate you need daily for different levels of training.

  • Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids
    SUMMARY OF DATA FOR CHEMICAL SELECTION Dietary Supplements Containing Ephedrine Alkaloids BASIS OF NOMINATION Dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids from herbal sources (ephedra) are brought to the attention of the CSWG as part of an ongoing National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) research initiative on the safety and efficacy of these products. This initiative was recommended by the Senate Committee on Appropriations in fiscal year (FY) 2001. In its Report making FY 2002 appropriations for the Department of Health and Human Services, the Committee expressed pleasure that the ODS followed through on its FY 2001 recommendation and urged the ODS to continue and expand this important effort. The nomination of ephedra­ containing supplements to the National Toxicology Program (NTP) is part of the expanded effort by the ODS. As the Senate Committee noted, the number of Americans taking dietary supplements containing ephedra has risen dramatically. Dietary supplements containing herbal ephedra (chiefly Ephedra sinica Stapf.) are widely used as diet aids and athletic performance enhancers, with over 3 billion servings1 sold each year for weight loss alone. The active ingredients in these supplements are primarily ephedrine and pseudoephedrine with small amounts of other ephedrine alkaloids usually present. Ephedra-based diet aids often contain other stimulants, such as caffeine (guarana), as well as salicin, diuretics, and cathartics. Ephedra-containing performance enhancers often contain caffeine and other ingredients, such as chromium picolinate or l-carnitine, and may be consumed with other performance enhancers, such as androstenedione and creatine monohydrate. The ephedrine alkaloids are sympathomimetic amines, a class of compounds with fairly well characterized short to medium term biological activities.

  • A Study on Direct Selling Through Multi Level Marketing
    International Journal of Advancements in Research & Technology, Volume 1, Issue 4, September-2012 1 ISSN 2278-7763 A Study On Direct Selling Through Multi Level Marketing F. MARY MERLIN Department of Management Studies, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, India. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Direct selling is a multi-level marketing in which the sales force is compensated not only for the sales they make but also for the sales done through their recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participants who can provide multiple levels of compensation. A person's job would be to recruit others to sell their product, and in return, receive a percentage of their sales. The next person's job then is to recruit people even more so below them, and receive a percentage of their sales. Other terms for Multi-level marketing include network marketing and referral marketing. Commonly, the salespeople are expected to sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship through referrals marketing. Some people use direct selling as a synonym for MLM, although MLM is only one type of direct selling Keywords : Multi-Level Marketing, Direct Selling, Traditional Marketing. 1 INTRODUCTION evolution of direct selling.

Academic Editor: Igor P. Pogribny Received: 22 February 2016; Accepted: 25 March 2016; Published: 9 April 2016 Abstract: Dietary supplements (DS) are extensively consumed worldwide despite unproven efficacy. The true incidence of DS-induced liver injury (DSILI) is unknown but is probably under-diagnosed due to the general belief of safety of these products. Reported cases of herbals and DS-induced liver injury are increasing worldwide. The aim of this manuscript is to report a tabular listing with a description of DS associated with hepatotoxicity as well as review the phenotype and severity of DSILI. Natural remedies related to hepatotoxicity can be divided into herbal product-induced liver injury and DS-induced liver injury. In this article, we describe different DS associated with liver injury, some of them manufactured DS containing several ingredients (Herbalife™ products, Hydroxycut™, LipoKinetix™, UCP-1 and OxyELITE™) while others have a single ingredient (green tea extract, linoleic acid, usnic acid, 1,3-Dimethylamylamine, vitamin A, Garcinia cambogia and ma huang).

  • Founder of Metabolife International, Inc. Sentenced
    NEWS RELEASE OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA San Diego, California For Further Information, Contact: Assistant U. S. Attorney Phillip L.B. Halpern (619) 557-5165 or Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle W. Hoffman (619) 557-6157 For Immediate Release NEWS RELEASE SUMMARY - June 9, 2008 The United States Attorney’s Office announced today that Michael J. Ellis, the founder and former president of San Diego-based corporation Metabolife International, Inc., was sentenced today by United States District Judge Napoleon A. Jones, Jr. to serve six months in custody and pay a fine of $20,000. The sentence was imposed after Ellis pled guilty to the offense of making false statements to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). According to court records, in April 1998 and February 1999, Ellis and his corporation sent letters to the FDA stating that Metabolife had “never received a notice from a consumer that any serious adverse health event has occurred because of the ingestion of Metabolife 356” and that Metabolife had a “claims - free history.” Metabolife’s own documents, however, demonstrated that Metabolife had received reports of seizures, heart attacks, strokes, losses of consciousness and other serious adverse health events -- often resulting in hospitalizations. At the time Ellis and Metabolife submitted these false representations to the FDA, the FDA was considering whether to regulate ephedra products more stringently. In particular, in1997, the FDA proposed a rule that would have banned the sale of products containing 8 mg or more of ephedrine alkaloids and would have required stricter labeling of other ephedra supplements.

And you may have tried looking for online reviews to see if that company is really legit, or just another scam. FIND US HERE But all you found are some fake review websites that are obviously biased. Well today, I decided to expose the real truth about BioTrust and dietary supplements to the public. Welcome to the Supplements Industry Follow I could have titled this part “Welcome to the Far West”, really. Because that’s really what the supplements industry is mostly all about. This revealing clip from the movie “Bigger, Faster, Stronger” tells it all… WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR? http://nickandgenhealthylife.com/biotrust-exposed/[4/7/16, 12:58:22 PM] BioTrust EXPOSED - The Truth About BioTrust Nutrition Search for: Starting your own supplements company in the US is very cheap, and none of your products have to be tested by the FDA or any third party regulatory agency before hitting the market. Actually, the FDA has to prove that a given supplement is dangerous before being able to demand a recall. As Consumer Reports puts it: “Unless the FDA meets a high standard of proof that a dietary supplement creates “a significant or unreasonable risk,” it cannot ban it. For example, it took a decade to ban the ephedrine alkaloids used in weight-loss products, and during that time supplements containing ephedra were linked to thousands of adverse events.” (1) There’s no other way to say it… consumers have consumed dangerous ephedrine supplements (like Metabolife) for a whopping 10 years before they were banned in 2004.

Your story matters Citation FDA vs. Ephedra: Dietary Supplement Regulation Under DSHEA (2002 Third Year Paper) Citable link http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:8846780 Terms of Use This article was downloaded from Harvard University’s DASH repository, and is made available under the terms and conditions applicable to Other Posted Material, as set forth at http:// nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:dash.current.terms-of- use#LAA FDA vs. Ephedra: Dietary Supplement Regulation Under DSHEA Harvard Law School third year writing requirement Adam R. Jones class of 2002 April 2002 1 ABSTRACT The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) dramatically changed the way dietary supplements are regulated in the United States. DSHEA created a new category of products defined as “dietary supplements,” and altered the way in which these products are regulated in an attempt to promote consumer access to dietary supplements. By weakening the FDA’s regulatory control of dietary supplements, DSHEA made it impossible for the FDA to insure the safety of dietary supplements sold in the United States. DSHEA allows most supplements to enter the market without first being tested for safety, and once on the market, DSHEA makes it very difficult for the FDA to remove potentially dangerous dietary supplements. The FDA’s inability to insure the safety of dietary supplements under DSHEA is exemplified by its failed efforts to place tighter restrictions on the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedra alkaloids (ephedra or ephedrine).

  • False Speech: Quagmire?
    False Speech: Quagmire? CHRISTOPHER P. GUZELIAN* Recently decided cases in several Federal Courts of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court show that First Amendment false speech case law is contradictory and unpredictable. This Article gives examples and concludes that legal liability for false speech will continue to be arbitrary and even susceptible to intentionally unjust decisionmaking if judges and juries individually and collectively disregard or downplay the necessity of an honest search for truth under the guise of tolerance and evenhandedness. If Americans wish to avoid an anything-goes “quagmire” about truth, they must—despite inevitable resistance in a civilization increasingly rife with skeptics—undergo transformations of their thinking habits to genuinely seek and successfully identify truth with charitable application in law. In addition, a certain kind of optimism is necessary to render consistent, predictable, and correct conclusions in false speech cases. This Article’s implications may also extend beyond false speech to other areas of constitutional and common law. * © 2014 Christopher P. Guzelian.
