Answer:

Men who are more active will have slightly different dietary needs than men who are sedentary. The biggest difference is in the amount of calories that they consume, as an active man will burn more calories than a sedentary man. While an active man may not need more vitamins and minerals, there are some he should take extra care to consume in the recommended amounts.Both active and sedentary men should consume approximately 55 to 65 percent of their calories from carbohydrates, which provide the body with energy. Between 15 and 30 percent of calories should come from fat, with most of these calories coming from healthy unsaturated fats. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of your calories should come from protein, with the lower amount being sufficient for most sedentary men. Athletes often require more protein. Endurance athletes can multiply their weight in kilograms by 1.2 and 1.4 to get a range for the number of grams of protein they should consume each day. Athletes engaging in strength training to add significant amounts of muscle should multiply their weight in kilograms by 1.6 and 1.7 to determine their recommended protein intake range. Your protein needs may vary slightly depending on the intensity of your exercise. Consuming too much protein is not beneficial, as your body burns extra protein for energy or stores it as fat.While vitamin and mineral needs do not increase with activity levels, some are particularly important for athletes. Consuming them in excess amounts is not helpful, but take care to meet the RDA for these nutrients, which include iron, calcium, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, biotin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, vitamin C and vitamin D. Depending on how much you sweat while exercising, if you exercise for more than 90 minutes you may need to drink a beverage containing electrolytes, such as a sports drink or chocolate milk. This will help you replenish your sodium and potassium levels, as these electrolytes are lost when you sweat.

More active men need to drink more water than sedentary men, especially when exercising on very hot days. If you follow a healthy and varied diet, consuming more calories will usually result in your obtaining sufficient amounts of necessary macronutrients. No more than 10 to 15 percent of your calories should come from sweets and other junk foods. Active men can theoretically consume more of these foods, since they need to consume more calories overall
