3. Protein Imbalance (Cause & Effect)

Explain down two consequences of deficiency and two consequences of excess protein intake.

Two consequences of deficiency

1. Muscle Loss (Body breaks down muscle tissues for protein, leading to weakness)
2. Fatigue/Weakened Immunity (Reduce energy production, fewer antibodies to fight
infections)
Two consequences of excess
1. Weight Gain (Extra calories from protein can be stored as fat)
2. Dehydration (More water is needed to process protein, leading to dehydration)

4. Protein as Ergogenic Aid (Essay)

In 1 short paragraph, explain:

 How protein supplements (e.g., whey, casein, BCAAs) may help athletes.
 Are they always necessary, or can food sources be enough?

 Protein supplements like whey, casein, and BCAA’s can aid athletes by boosting muscle
recovery, reducing muscle soreness and promoting muscle growth especially after
intense workout. While these supplements offered a convenient way to increase protein
intake, they aren’t always essential because a well-planned diet with sufficient protein
from whole food source like meat, diary, eggs, beans, seeds, and nuts can often meet
an athlete protein needs effectively.
