When physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body's requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training. The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity. How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity.

Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15% of total energy intake.
