Learning Goal: I’m working on a health & medical discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Introduction

Imagine that you and your friends are planning to walk in the 5k course of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. You are in charge of putting together a meal for your friends the day before the walkathon. You have already learned that carbohydrates are an effective energy source, but this week we learned that lipids can be a useful source of energy for exercise at a VO2max of less than 65%.
