The crew of an ocean-going racing sailboat must adhere to strict weight limits for both their bodies and the food they eat, yet their activity levels are very high, and weather conditions may vary to extreme cold, so they must consume many kilocalories. What kinds of nutrient-dense foods can you suggest to them to bring? In general, what type of energy nutrient should they choose to consume?
What will be an ideal response?
A nutritionist's nightmare, this crew gets to eat foods everyone else is trying to avoid. Fat is high in kilocalories, but
lightweight and doesn't occupy much space. Candy bars, granola with lots of nuts, and peanut butter are all good
foods to have available, while vegetables, salads, and regular breakfast cereals are too bulky for the calories they
provide.
