TI  - Nutritional survey of the US Navy SEAL trainees.
PG  - 1316-23
AB  - The nutritional status of 267 male US Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) trainees was 
      assessed to determine dietary patterns. Diet records, blood samples, 24-h urine 
      collections, and physical characteristics were analyzed. Energy intake was 3886 
      +/- 73 kcal/d (SEM) with 15.7 +/- 0.2, 42.9 +/- 0.6, and 41.2 +/- 0.5% of the 
      energy derived from protein, carbohydrate (CHO), and fat, respectively. Mean 
      cholesterol intake (1008 +/- 35.7 mg/d [SEM]) exceeded the US Dietary Goal (less 
      than or equal to 300 mg/d) and serum cholesterol concentration was 5.25 +/- 0.41 
      mmol/L (SEM). Over 38% of the trainees had cholesterol concentrations greater 
      than 5.3 mmol/L, an indicator of high risk for cardiovascular disease. Mean 
      sodium intake was 250 +/- 22 mmol/d. Over 86% of the trainees consumed greater 
      than 144 mmol/d. Urinary Na excretion was high (146.7 +/- 6.7 mmol/d [SEM]) and 
      correlated with Na intake (r = 0.365; p = 0.001). Potassium and selected vitamin 
      intakes approximated the Military Recommended Dietary Allowances. Fat, 
      cholesterol, and Na intakes were high relative to the dietary goals. Whether more 
      dietary CHO would improve performance in endurance training remains to be 
      determined.
