Assignment:

Meg is a cross-country athlete running for one of the top collegiate teams in the country. She is a sophomore in college and is living in an apartment with two other runners on the team. She lived in a dorm as a freshman and decided on a more vegetarian style of eating last year because her roommate was vegetarian. A variety of vegetarian dishes that she liked were available in the dorm cafeteria, and she found cafeteria dining to be convenient after long practices. Meg is 5′6″ and weighs 120 pounds. She is concerned with her weight, since she has lost 5 pounds since the season started without trying (beginning weight was 125). She trains hard daily for 2 to 3 hours on the trails or on the road and lifts weights three times a week with the team. She eats no meat or fish, but she occasionally consumes dairy, mainly yogurt. Grocery shopping, meal planning, and vegetarian cooking are all new to Meg, and therefore she schedules an appointment with the athletic department's sports nutritionist for guidance with eating vegetarian style in her apartment.

Calculate Meg's total energy expenditure and macronutrient requirements (total protein, carbohydrates, and fat). Make sure to include both grams and % of total kcals.
