Healthy Body Weight and Disordered Weight Behaviors

Scenario/Summary

Assess Your Own Body Weight and Develop a Diet and Exercise Program.

Weight: 210

Male Age 45

Height: 68 inches

Deliverables

Part 1: Define BMI

You must define BMI, though not just with a general definition indicating its relationship to height and weight. Please also do not forget to define the actual term BMI.

Part 2: Calculate Your BMI

Many students use an automated calculator to complete this part of the assignment. I will deduct points if I do not see the actual math calculations. Please include all stages of the math calculations associated with determining your BMI.

Part 3: Compare/Contrast BMI & Individual Plan

There are three sections to this part of the assignment, and for the first part, you need to designate where your BMI falls according to the standard tables (underweight, normal, overweight, obese). In the second part of the assignment, you need to develop a dietary plan for your BMI value, and for the most part, you need to be as detailed as possible. Basically, I would like to see a day in your life according to where your current BMI falls. You need to include how many calories you plan on taking in and why, and you also need to develop a day's worth of eating with specific foods and portions.

Breakfast 2 over easy eggs, 4 strips of bacon, 2 slices of wheat toast and black coffee

Lunch 1 serving of chicken breast, California vegetables, mash potatoes, plain ice tea

Dinner 1 cup cream of broccoli soup, 8oz steak med rare, broccoli, bake potato, plain ice tea

(Please note: this should be a healthy plan using the sound nutrition principles we've learned in this class, which may be different from your current habits) As far as the exercise plan, again, you need to be as specific as possible. The goal of this section is to develop a plan that incorporates all of the components of a sound fitness program (flexibility, endurance, strength training, body fat, and cardiovascular), as well as discuss specific exercises that you plan on doing. Basically, the goal is to produce a weekly plan, with specific exercises, that has all of the components of a sound fitness plan.
