Description
Katherine Frick and co-authors measure, in 2025, whether trainee officers eat enough during a field exercise. Cadets in a reserve officer program face heavy physical demands twice a year, and food intake must match that load. The team recorded energy use with wrist devices and collected self-reported food intake during a fall exercise.
Cadets burned far more energy than they ate, falling below both their active needs and military intake guidelines. Almost all cadets missed the protein target, and none met the carbohydrate gram target, though fat intake was generally adequate. The authors call for better feeding plans to protect cadet health and performance during training.
