Activity 3 – ENERGY BALANCE

Overview:

To evaluate the extent to which you are in energy balance, you need to calculate your estimated energy (kcal) requirement (EER) and compare it with your energy (kcal) intake (already calculated for you from your computer nutrient analysis). See chapter 10 in the textbook for a discussion of energy balance. For this activity, complete the worksheet below on energy balance.

Calculations:

1. Enter the following information showing all work):

Conversions
1 in = 2.54 cm	100 cm = 1 m	or 1 in = .0254 m
example: 55 in x 2.54 cm/in = 139.7 cm and 55 in x .0254 m/in = 1.397 m
1 lb. = 2.2 kg	example: 130 lb / 2.2 kg/lb = 59.09 kg
Complete the following data/ calculations:
age (years) =
gender =
height in inches =		height in meters =
weight in pounds =		weight in kilograms =

2. Determine your Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) by using the appropriate equation below. (See page 320 in the textbook for an example of how to use this method to calculate kilocalorie requirements.)

Estimated Energy Requirement Formulas:

Men 19 years of age and older:

EER = 662 – (9.53 x Age[years]) + PA x [(15.91 x Weight[kg]) + (539.6 x Height[m])]

Physical Activity (PA):

PA=1.00 Sedentary (typical daily activities only)

PA=1.11 Low Active (equivalent to walking 2 mile/day at 3-4 mph)

PA=1.25 Active (equivalent to walking 7 mile/day at 3-4 mph)

PA=1.48 Very Active (equivalent to walking 17 mile/day at 3-4 mph)

Women 19 years of age and older:

EER = 354 – (6.91 x Age[years]) + PA x [(9.36 x Weight[kg]) + (726 x Height[m])]

Physical Activity (PA):

PA=1.00 Sedentary

PA=1.12 Low Active

PA=1.27 Active

PA=1.45 Very Active

Calculate your Estimated Energy Requirement showing all calculation steps:

3. Compare the actual kilocalorie intake ChooseMyPlate calculated for you in the “Nutrients Report” for Day 1 and Day 2 with your estimated energy requirement from the above question. Show all calculations and include appropriate units. First, total actual Day 1 and Day 2 kilocalorie intake then divide by 2 to obtain an average kilocalorie intake for both days.

Average kilocalorie intake, Day 1 and Day 2

Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)

Difference (in kilocalories) between actual intake and estimated requirement

Are you consuming fewer (negative energy balance), the same number of (energy balance), or more (positive energy balance) calories than the estimated requirement?

Assuming this pattern of intake and activity continues, will this lead to weight loss, weight maintenance, or weight gain?

Activity 4 – NCEP, AHA, and Food and Nutrition Board Recommendations

You are now ready to compare your intake to the recommended intake ranges of carbohydrate, total fat, saturated fat, protein, fiber, and cholesterol. Use the following dietary recommendations when you compare your actual intake of carbohydrate, total fat, saturated fat, protein, fiber, and cholesterol with current recommendations:

National Cholesterol Education Program, American Heart Association, and Food and Nutrition Board recommend consuming:

• 45-65% total kilocalories from carbohydrate

• 20-35% total kilocalories from fat

• no more than 7-10% total kilocalories from saturated fat

• 10-35% total kilocalories from protein

• no more than 200-300 mg/day dietary cholesterol

• 25 g/day dietary fiber for women and 38 g/day for men

American Heart Association (AHA) recommends consuming:

• no more than 2 alcohol equivalents (1 equivalent = 12 fl oz beer, 5 fl oz wine, or 1 ½ fl oz distilled spirits)

1. Recommended Intake:

Begin by determining the number of kilocalories recommended from carbohydrate (CHO), total fat, saturated fat, and protein. To do this, multiply the estimated energy requirement (EER) (you calculated from activity 4 on energy balance) by the percent recommended and divide by 100. If the recommendation is a range (e.g., 45–65%), do the calculations for both numbers in the range and report answers as ranges as well.

Once you know the kilocalorie recommendations for CHO, total fat, saturated fat and protein intake, you can determine the recommendations in grams (g). To do this, divide the number of kilocalories recommended for CHO and protein by 4 kcal/g and the kilocalories recommended for total fat and saturated fat by 9 kcal/g. Be sure to show all calculations!

Insert your two-day average intake in the form of a percentage. You will find this intake on the nutrient report under the “Average Eaten” column on the “Carbohydrate (% Calories),” “Total Fat,” “Saturated Fat,” and “Protein (% Calories)” rows.

a. Carbohydrate

· Calculate your recommended intake of CHO in calories:

Recommended range 45-65% total kilocalories from carbohydrate

Lower Recommendation	Higher Recommendation	Your Intake
(EER x .45) / 4 =	(EER x .65) / 4 =

Compare your intake to the recommendation. Does your intake fit into the recommended range? If no, how can you change your intake to fit into the range with healthy carbohydrate sources? If yes, what can you change to improve the quality of your carbohydrate sources? Be specific.

b. Total fat

· Calculate your recommended intake of total fat in calories:

Recommended range 20-35% total kilocalories from fat

Lower Recommendation	Higher Recommendation	Your Intake
(EER x .20) / 9 =	(EER x .35) / 9 =

Compare your intake to the recommendation. Does your intake fit into the recommended range? If no, how can you change your intake to fit into the range with healthy fat sources? If yes, what can you change to improve the quality of your fat sources? Be specific.

c. Saturated fat

· Calculate your recommended intake of saturated fat in calories:

Recommended range no more than 7-10% total kilocalories from saturated fat

Lower Recommendation	Maximum Recommendation	Your Intake
(EER x .07) / 9 =	(EER x .10) / 9 =

Compare your intake to the recommendation. Is your intake below the maximum recommended range? If no, how can you reduce your saturated fat intake to below 10% of your total kcals? If yes, what can you change to further reduce saturated fat intake and increase unsaturated fat intake? Be specific.

d. Protein

· Calculate your recommended intake of protein in calories:

Recommended range 10-35% total kilocalories from protein

Lower Recommendation	Higher Recommendation	Your Intake
(EER x .10) / 4 =	(EER x .35) / 4 =

Compare your intake to the recommendation. Does your intake fit into the recommended range? If no, how can you change your intake to fit into the range with lean protein sources? If yes, what can you change to improve the quality of your protein sources? Be specific.

e. Cholesterol

· Compare your cholesterol intake to the recommendation:

Recommended range is no more than 200-300 mg/day of dietary cholesterol.

Maximum Recommendation	Your Intake

Compare your intake to the recommendation. Is your intake below the maximum recommendation? If no, how can you reduce your intake below the maximum recommendation? If yes, what can you do to keep your cholesterol intake low, while consuming an adequate amount of total kcals? Be specific.

6. Fiber

· Compare your fiber intake to the recommendation: Recommendation is a minimum of 25 g/day for women and 38 g/day for men.

Minimum Recommendation	Your Intake

Compare your intake to the recommendation. Does your intake meet the minimum recommendation? If no, how can you change your intake to meet the minimum recommendation? If yes, what foods are providing your fiber? Be specific.

Activity 5 – Vitamins and Minerals
