Chang’s running coach tells the team to load up on carbohydrates a few days before their big

meet. Which meal will MOST likely help Chang follow the coach’s instructions?

1 answer

To help Chang load up on carbohydrates before the big meet, the best meal choice would be one that is high in complex carbohydrates.

A meal that includes whole grain pasta, brown rice, quinoa, or sweet potatoes, paired with lean proteins (like grilled chicken or fish) and plenty of vegetables would be ideal. For instance, a meal consisting of a large serving of whole grain pasta with marinara sauce, a side of steamed broccoli, and grilled chicken would support carbohydrate loading effectively.

Additionally, including fruits such as bananas, apples, or berries as snacks throughout the day can also contribute to overall carbohydrate intake.

So, a meal featuring whole grains and paired with protein and veggies would most likely help Chang follow the coach's advice.
