Question

When combined with fitness, a healthy body weight will help you to defend against chronic diseases.

Go to Diet & Wellness Plus and choose one of the days on which you ate the most foods. Click on Reports, and go to the Energy Balance report. Use this report to answer the following questions.

1. Describe how your daily food intake and physical activity compare with each other.

2. What did the diet analysis program estimate as your daily energy requirement? What information was this based on?

3. Calculate your estimated energy requirements, using the instructions in the "How To 8-1." How did your calculated estimated energy requirement compare with the daily energy requirement stated in the Energy Balance report?

4. Was your kcalorie intake for this day greater than or less than the recommended kilocalories?

Would you expect to gain, lose, or maintain weight? What health risks may arise over time if one continues to gain weight? What health issues may occur if one continues to be underweight?

Answer 1

1, Physical activity is important to convert food as energy. energy is important for physical activity which we can get from the food we take. balancing food and physical activity can provide a healthy weight.
2, Required calories per day can be calculated with activity level X desired weight(Ibs) to maintain health and wellbeing. it provides information based on calorie needs and nutrient requirements.
3, Activity level = low active
desired weight = 56 kg(122ibs)
Calculate BMI
BMI= 8.3 X weight in kg + 846
=8.3 X 56 + 846
BMI= 1310.8
Physical activity level
Low active = 1.5
Multiply BMI and PAL = 1310.8 X 1.5
= 1966.2kcal/day needed

4, My calorie intake for this day greater than the recommended kilocalories. I need to maintain my current weight.
