Question 1

A client has a TDEE of 2,800 calories and wants to build muscle with a 10% caloric surplus. What is their daily calorie target?

Accepted Answer

3,080 calories

Answer

A 10% surplus means multiplying TDEE by 1.10: 2,800 × 1.10 = 3,080 calories.

Question 2

A client consumes 150g of carbohydrates and 80g of fat daily. How many calories do those two macros contribute combined?

Accepted Answer

1,320 calories

Answer

Carbohydrates provide 4 cal/g (150 × 4 = 600) and fat provides 9 cal/g (80 × 9 = 720). 600 + 720 = 1,320 calories.

Question 3

A client weighing 200 lbs is assigned 0.8g of protein per pound of body weight. How many grams of protein should they consume daily?

Accepted Answer

160g

Answer

Multiply body weight by the protein target: 200 lbs × 0.8g = 160g of protein per day.

Question 4

After 4 weeks, a client's fat loss has stalled on a 2,000-calorie plan. The coach reduces calories by 5%. What is the new daily calorie target?

Accepted Answer

1,900 calories

Answer

A 5% reduction means multiplying by 0.95: 2,000 × 0.95 = 1,900 calories.

Question 5

A client follows a 2,100-calorie diet with macros set at 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat. How many grams of carbohydrates should they eat daily?

Accepted Answer

210g

Answer

40% of 2,100 = 840 calories from carbs. Dividing by 4 cal/g gives 840 ÷ 4 = 210g of carbohydrates.
