If Matt continues to eat this way for months, which might he experience?   Transcript

Laurie’s son, 20-year-old Matt (5’10”, 160 pounds) is away at college. He wants to be more muscular, so he lifts weights, has a protein shake 2 times a day, and eats many protein bars for snacks during the day. His meals consist of meat, bread, rice and peanut butter. He recently started using the college’s indoor track to run the same routines he practiced in high school when he was on the track and field team, including the 100, 200- and 400-meter races. His routine allows for about 30 minutes of actual activity each day, and Matt is trying to decide which beverage will help him most. His roommate, talks about eating a lot of carbs as a way to improve performance on the field.  His roommate also tells him to eat a substantial, high-protein meal of steak and ribs before running.
