Toolbox BMR Activity Factor Assignment
4.2 Objective
Demonstrate an ability to calculate estimated energy requirement.
Relevancy
We need to know how much to eat in order to sustain our basic body needs and any
physical activity.
The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine. — Hippocrates
Prior Learning
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is a numeric value in kcal/day indicating the amount
of energy the body requires for maintaining life. The Activity Factor provides a
numeric value capturing our typical daily physical activity.
Pretest
Define the concept of baseline measure.
Activity
Estimating energy needs requires a calculation for your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
and an estimate of your daily activity factor. Multiplying the BMR times the Activity
Factor gives your energy needs or Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) which
provides you with the number of kcal of energy you need per day in order to meet your
expected body needs.
It is important to obtain an approximation of one’s body composition, particularly for
baseline measures. The Body Mass Index (BMI) provides an estimate of whether one’s
weight is in accord with one’s height.
Additionally, the Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) provides a sense of how one’s fat is
distributed.
Calculate your Estimated Energy Requirement (EER).
EER = BMR x Activity Factor
My EER is _______________________ kcal/day.
Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI).
BMI = body weight in pounds x 705 / height in inches squared
My BMI is _______________________
If your BMI is:
Less than 20 then you are considered underweight
20-25 then you are considered normal weight
25-30 then you are considered overweight
Over 30 then you are considered obese
Calculate your Waist-to-hip Ratio (WTR).
WTR = circumference of waist in inches / circumference of hips in inches
My WTR is _______________________
Men should be less than 0.95 and women should be less than 0.80. If you
exceed these values you are at greater risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Follow-up
What have you found out about yourself regarding your EER, BMI, and WTR?
Whole Task Objectives Follow-up
How does calculating estimated energy requirement relate to your overall
understanding of measurement and obtaining measures?
Toolbox EER BMI WTR
4.3 Objective
Identify the six classes of nutrients in the context of the definition of nutrition.
Relevancy
We need to know how much to eat in order to sustain our basic body needs and any
physical activity. But, we also need to know just what to eat to satisfy our body’s
needs.
Man does not live by bread alone… –Matthew 4:4
Prior Learning
You have obtained some personal baseline measures. The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
is a numeric value in kcal/day indicating the amount of energy the body requires for
maintaining life. The Activity Factor provides a numeric value capturing our typical
daily physical activity. The Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) provides the number
of kcal of energy you need per day in order to meet your expected body needs. The
Body Mass Index (BMI) provides an estimate of whether one’s weight is in accord with
one’s height. And, the Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) provides a sense of how one’s fat is
distributed.
Pretest
How confident are you that you are eating the proper amount of carbohydrates,
protein, and fats per day? Rate your confidence from 0 to 100, 0 being totally
unconfident, and 100 being totally confident.
Activity
Wikipedia (2009) provides a workable definition of nutrition as the provision, to cells
and organisms, of materials, in the form of food, to support life. The diet of an
organism refers to what it eats. Many common health problems can be prevented or
alleviated with good nutrition.
Singh, Bennett, and Deuster (1999) indicate that there are six classes of nutrients
which include carbohydrates (CHO), proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. The
energy-providing nutrients are CHO, proteins, and fats. Energy metabolism, chemical
reactions involved in energy transformations within cell, is provided by the vitamins
and minerals. And, water, constituting 60% of our weight, is the most abundant
nutrient.
Figure 2.3. Nutrients.
CHO should supply 55-60% of your total daily kcals. The two types of CHO are simple
CHO, such as glucose, a vital sugar and the major energy source of the body, and
complex CHO, such as whole grains, that are digested in simple sugars.
Proteins should supply approximately 10-15% of your total daily kcals. Common
proteins are meat, dairy, beans, and grains.
Fats should supply less than 30% of your total daily kcals. The three types of naturally
occurring fat are saturated fats, which are solid at room temperature and found in
animal foods and tropical oils; monounsaturated fats, which are liquid at room
temperature and found in olive oil and peanuts, and polyunsaturated fats; which are
liquid at room temperature and found in fish, corn, nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils.
Trans fats are manufactured and appear in processed foods as hydrogenated oils.
Although cholesterol is an essential part of body cells, trans fats should be avoided as
they increase cholesterol to potentially unhealthy levels.
Vitamins and minerals aid in the release of energy. Recommended Dietary Allowances
(RDA) for vitamins and minerals provide the basis for the amounts that should be
assimilated daily. These vitamins and minerals can be met by eating a variety of foods.
In general, for weight loss, subtract 300 calories/day and add activity to burn an
additional 200-300 calories/day. For weight gain — add 500-1000 calories/day and
consider something like lifting weights productively 2-3 times/week (Smiley, 2002).
Calculate your carbohydrate (CHO) needs.
CHO = EER x 0.56
My CHO is ___________________ kcal/day.
And Grams CHO = kcal CHO / 4
My CHO is ___________________ grams/day.
Calculate your protein needs by first identifying your protein factor.
0.5 grams/pound Low to moderate activity
0.6 to 0.8 grams/pound Endurance or strength training
Proteins = protein factor x body weight in pounds
My protein is ___________________ grams per day.
Calculate your maximum fat limit.
Fat = EER x 0.3
My Fat is ___________________ kcal/day.
And, Grams Fat = kcal Fat / 9
My Fat is ___________________ grams/day.
Calculate your water requirement with respect to an eight ounce cup. Note that this
can vary depending upon activity, weather, and altitude.
Water Cups = 0.5 x body weight in pounds / 8
My water is ___________________ cups/day.
