Assignment:
In a Power Point:
1. Weight, height, age, gender
2. Anthropometric measurements: Waist, hip, bicep, tricep, calf.
3. Determine BMI and Waist-Hip Ratio (Waist/Hip). See this article: Assessing Your Weight Healthy Weight. Nutrition, and Physical Activity ICDC
4. Determine estimated calorie needs using Harris Benedict (Choose formula based on gender). The formula The Harris-Benedict BMR equation is:
Metric formula for men BMR 66.47+ (13.75 x weight in kg)+ (5.003x height in cm)-(6.755x age in years)
BMR formula for men
BMR = 66.47+ (6.24 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches)-(6.755 x age in years)
Metric formula for women
BMR=655.1+(9.563 x weight in kg)+ (1.85 x height in cm)-(4.676 x age in years)
Imperial formula for women BMR-655.1+(4.35 weight in pounds)+(4.7 x height in inches)-(4.7 age in years)
Remember to include Physical Activity Factor: Calculate Harris and Benedict (REE) (at rest) and multiply by the Physical Activity factor as appropriate: Sedentary. Little to no regular exercise. = (factor 1.2)
Mild activity level: Intensive exercise for at least 20 minutes 1 to 3 times per week. This may include such things as bicycling, jogging, basketball, swimming, skating, etc. If you do not exercise regularly, but you maintain a busy lifestyle that requires you to walk frequently for long periods, you meet the requirements of this level. (factor 1.375)
Moderate activity level: Intensive exercise for at least 30 to 60 minutes 3 to 4 times per week. Any of the activities listed above will qualify. (factor 1.55) Heavy or (Labor-intensive) activity level: Intensive exercise for 60 minutes or greater 5 to 7 days per week (see sample activities above). Labor-intensive occupations also qualify for this level. Labor-intensive occupations include construction work (brick laying, carpentry, general labor, etc.). Also farming, landscape worker or similar occupations. (factor 1.7) Extreme level: Exceedingly active and/or very demanding activities: Examples include: (1) athlete with an almost unstoppable training schedule with multiple training sessions throughout the day (2) very demanding job. such as shovelling coal or working long hours on an assembly line. Generally, this level of activity is very difficult to achieve." (factor 1.9)
5. Determine protein and fluid needs per day. View class and book presentations.
6. Do 24 hr Food Recall and analyze your result using any nutritional analysis program, example: My Fitness Pal, USDA: FoodData Central (usda.gov), etc.
7. Analyze the results obtained in that analysis and compare them with the dietary recommendations (DRIs) for age: Nutrient Recommendations and Databases (nih.gov)
8. Educate your family member in a general way using the MyPlate page: See here: MyPlate Plan | MyPlate
