Calorie Comparison Activity OBJECTIVES: to investigate how human beings survived under camp and ghetto life's extreme conditions by examining the set rations to recognize the suffering and loss of life experienced in Holocaust ghettos due to food rationing to identify the basic food groups, USDA requirements and compare those to rations of ghetto and camp inmates to recognize the importance of adequate nutrition

Calorie Comparison Activity How many calories should we consume each day? How many calories do we consume each day? Compare to what the Jews and other prisoners of concentration camps consumed.

Example For one week, a Jew/prisoner might have been rationed: – 14.0 oz bread – 4.5 oz meat products – 1.75 oz sugar – O.9 oz fat This totals to approximately 350 calories a day!

Counting Calories?? McDonald’s Cheeseburger = 300 calories Peanut M&Ms = 250 calories Kraft Mac & Cheese (1/4 cup) = 290 calories 1 medium banana = 105 calories ½ cup vanilla ice cream = 150 calories

How many calories do I need? Caloric needs are based on several factors: – Age – Sex – Height – Weight – Level of Physical Activity For example, according to a 13 year old male, 5 feet 2 inches tall, 115 pounds, physically active 30 to 60 minutes a day needs about 2400 calories per day!

You must make your own chart; you may hand-write it on notebook paper, or use a computer program (MS Word) to create the chart, but it should follow the format above.

F.A.Q.s Friday 2/12 – Thursday 2/17 = more than five days, so when do I keep my diary? – Needs to be over 5 consecutive days between now & next Friday! Do I have to write down everything? – Yes, that will make our comparisons more accurate What if I can’t find the # of calories? – Internet has LOTS of resources for this! – Use the next closest food if you can’t find exactly what you ate!

F.A.Q.s Does it matter if I go over/under the recommended # of calories? – OF COURSE NOT! YOU ARE NOT ON A DIET! One of our goals is to understand the importance of a balanced diet based on the results provided by and while I would encourage you to evaluate how much “junk” you are putting into your system, feel free to eat like you normally eat, just keep a record of it for this assignment!
