Answer 1

Mark’s current protein intake is already adequate to meet his daily needs. But if we want to know the amount of protein intake needed if he is an athlete, we need to know his height.

Mark’s current diet of protein is 145 grams. Every gram of protein contains 4 calories. It means Mark consumes 580 calories from protein. If total Mark’s total calories a day is 3400 kcal, this means he already consumes 17% of the total protein of his body needed. Another important piece of information is the recommended calorie intake for males is 2600-2800 kcal daily. We also need to know how many heights he is, in so we can calculate his BMI.

On the other hand, an athlete's adequate protein intake is 1.2 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. So we need to know how much weight Mark’s is.
