slide 18 question 17: nutrition myths which statement represents evidence - based nutrition practice rather than a common myth?

Explanation:

Since the problem is about nutrition and hydration recommendations, which falls under the Natural Science discipline, specifically in the subfield of Medicine and Health (or could also relate to Biology in a broader sense, but Medicine and Health is more specific here for nutrition and health-related questions). However, as the questions are not fully shown (some text is cut off), we can't provide a complete solution. But for the first visible question (Question 14: Hydration Needs - general daily water intake recommendation for adult men), the correct answer based on health guidelines is 3.7 liters (15.5 cups). For Question 15 (Meal Planning with MyPlate principles), the first consideration is Beginning with vegetables and fruits (half the plate) as per MyPlate guidelines. For Question 16 (Athletic Nutrition - macronutrient increased for endurance athletes), the answer is Carbohydrates as endurance athletes need more carbs for energy.

For Question 14 (Hydration Needs):

Step1: Recall health guidelines for adult men's daily water intake.

Health authorities recommend that adult men consume about 3.7 liters (or 15.5 cups) of total water (from beverages and food) daily.

Step2: Match with the options.

Among the options 2.7 liters (11.5 cups), 3.0 liters (13 cups), 3.7 liters (15.5 cups), 4.5 liters (19 cups), the correct one is 3.7 liters (15.5 cups).

Step1: Recall MyPlate principles.

MyPlate guidelines suggest that half of the plate should be filled with vegetables and fruits.

Step2: Evaluate the options.

"Starting with protein as the meal anchor" is incorrect (MyPlate doesn't prioritize protein first), "Ensuring dairy is included with every meal" is not the first consideration, "Calculating exact macronutrient ratios" is not a MyPlate principle (it's a more detailed nutritional approach, not part of basic MyPlate meal planning). So the correct option is "Beginning with vegetables and fruits (half the plate)".

Step1: Recall endurance athlete's nutritional needs.

Endurance athletes require more energy, and carbohydrates are the primary energy source for endurance activities (like long - distance running, cycling). Protein is needed for muscle repair but not the main increased macronutrient for energy, fat is a slower energy source and not typically increased for endurance athletes compared to carbs, and water is not a macronutrient.

Step2: Select the correct macronutrient.

So the macronutrient likely increased is Carbohydrates.

Answer:

3.7 liters (15.5 cups)

For Question 15 (Meal Planning - MyPlate principles):
