YMCA in the Fitness Center

Scenario: You are working at the YMCA in the Fitness Center. A new member, Nicholas, approaches you with the following question: "Hello. I was just reading in Muscle and Fitness magazine about how amazing protein is for people who exercise and want bigger muscles. I am not very familiar with foods that are high in protein, do you have any suggestions? Also, should I eat protein before, during and after my workout as the article suggests? There is a link in the article for me to purchase their protein shakes. Do I need them?"
Please respond to Nicholas' questions with factual information from your Chapter 2 and 3 materials. In your discussion of foods to eat before, during and after her workout, be sure to discuss ALL 3 macronutrients. Which macronutrient(s) are MOST crucial pre-exercise, and why? Post-exercise? If Nicholas weighs 160 lb., how many grams of protein should he consume per day (include this in your discussion of the necessity of the shake). Your response should be typed in Word, and should be approximately 1 page in length, and utilize terms that the average person could understand. If you use a source other than your textbook, it must be cited in APA format.
