A runner expends an average of 4 kcal per minute during a two hour run. She want to eat a meal of
50% energy from carbohydrate, 25% of energy from protein and 25% of energy from fat, how
much protein would their meal have to contain, in order to replenish their expended energy?

Given what we know about nutrition, we can confirm that the runner's meal would have to contain 30 grams of protein.

The runner in question wishes to complete a two-hour run while expending 4kcal or calories per minute, for a total of 480kcal. Furthermore, the runner wishes for only 25% (120kcal) of this energy to come from a source of protein.

Since every gram of protein adds 4 calories of energy to the meal, and we have to account for 120 calories, the runner will have to consume 30 grams of protein to achieve the desired results.
