though he only does one 5k run a month he does a lot of walking daily.

the trainer should eat a minimum of 1.2 to 1.7
grams of proteins on a daily basis. They have
met the standard through dependence on
foods like fish, dairy products, beans, and
eggs.
The level of carbohydrates should be at 5 to 7
grams based on changes in body weight.
Again, the parameter is achieved since the
client is inclined to consume fruits, legumes,
and vegetables.
The quality of consumption is dependent on
the factors of age, weight, levels of activity,
and gender.
Following the analysis in the previous question, identify the good components of the client’s
nutritional intake and any recommendations in accordance to the Eatwell Guide and
Governmental guidelines.

13. Overview of proposed exercise and physical activity plan aligned to the agreed nutritional
changes and goals (applying FITT where appropriate).
Generally, the proposed activity is to ensure that the client considers the creation of positive
schedules that improve the overall performance. One of the most important approaches is to
choose the timelines when the body has the needed energy levels that will improve
performance. The observation of the FITT standards will promote the achievement of the
needed outcomes.

It is crucial to note that the provided analysis in the cases study is a general outline of
activities. The client should ensure the construction of a tailor-made approach that suits the
current needs. The ability to work with a trainer will guaranteew the achievement of needed
guidance and feedbacks.
