Question

which person should increase calorie intake due to a lifestyle choice?
o an adult who is often sedentary
o an athlete
o a student getting ready for school exams
o an older woman

Explanation:

Athletes engage in intense physical activity. Calories are a measure of energy. Intense physical activity requires more energy. So, athletes need to increase calorie intake to fuel their activities. Sedentary adults have lower energy expenditure. A student getting ready for exams may have some mental stress but not the same level of physical energy - demand as an athlete. Older women generally have a slower metabolism and less physical activity (on average) compared to athletes.

Answer:

an athlete
