3. List the 5 food groups
4. What 3 things should I avoid/eat less of?

3. CALORIES

4. WHAT ARE THEY?
CALORIE = A UNIT OF MEASURE USED TO MEASURE THE ENERGY VALUE OF FOODS
CALORIES ARE NEEDED TO PROVIDE ENERGY FOR DAILY FUNCTIONS SUCH AS BREATHING, SLEEPING, & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

5. BALANCING CALORIES
If you take in the same amount of calories you expend you will maintain your current body weight
If you consume more calories than you expend you will gain weight
If you expend more than you take in you will lose weight

6. CALORIES IN & CALORIES OUT
CALORIES IN = every bit of food or drink you consume
CALORIES OUT = includes any movement your
body makes, plus your Basal
Metobolic Rate (BMR).
BMR is the amount of calories your
body uses at rest or sleeping

7. Calories Out is Not Equal for Everyone
calorie expenditure, whether it is BMR or daily activity is different for different people
If you are male, younger, taller or heavier you will have a higher BMR and burn more calories than if you are female, shorter and lighter
a higher percent of muscles in the body burns more calories than body fat
The more you weigh, the more energy it takes to move or maintain your body, therefore you will burn more calories

9. CALCULATE YOUR DAILY CALORIC NEED
STEP 1: CALCULATE YOUR BASAL METABOLIC RATE (BMR)
STEP 2: ESTIMATE OR CALCULATE YOUR TOTAL ENERGY EXPENDITURE AND ADD IT TO YOUR BMR
BMR + ENERGY EXPENDITURE = TOTAL DAILY CALORIES

10. EXAMPLE BMR: 16 YEAR OLD GIRL Women
140 LBS
5’7”
VERY ACTIVE
BMR:
Women
(1) BMR = (4.3 X weight in pounds) + (4.7 X height in inches) - (4.7 X age in years)
(2) BMR = (4.3 X 140) + (4.7 X 67 ) - (4.7 X 16)
(3) BMR =1,497 Calories (Cal)

11. EXAMPLE 16 YEAR OLD GIRL ENERGY EXPENDITURE (EE)
140 LBS
5’7”
VERY ACTIVE
ENERGY EXPENDITURE (EE)
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6–7 days/week):
EE = (BMR) X = Calories (Cal)
EE = 1,497 X = 2,581 CALORIES

12. *USING THE PROVIDED WORKSHEET CALCULATE YOUR DAILY CALORIC NEED*
EXAMPLE
IN ORDER FOR THIS 16 YEAR OLD GIRL TO FUNCTION AND MAINTAIN HER WEIGHT SHE NEEDS 2,581 CALORIES PER DAY
