Discuss factors that influence your total amount of calories consumed and why it may change from day to day.

In chapter 10 of the textbook, students will learn the difference between basal (BMR) and resting metabolism (RMR) as well as factors that will influence metabolic rate (exercise, hormones, etc.).Using the “rule of thumb” calculation, which gives a broad estimate for men and women, students will estimate their BMRMen = 1.0 kcal / kg / hourWomen = 0.9 kcal / kg / hour1 kg = 2.2 poundsExample = 145 pound male.145 lbs ÷ 2.2 lbs / kg = 65.9 kg65.9 kg * 1 kcal / kg / hour = 65.9 kcal / hour65.9 kcal / hour * 24 hours = 1582 kcal per day for BMRExample = 145 pound Female.145 lbs ÷ 2.2 lbs / kg = 65.9 kg65.9 kg * 0.9 kcal / kg / hour = 59.31 kcal / hour59.31 kcal / hour * 24 hours = 1423 kcal per day for BMRThe BMR will then be multiplied by a factor of 1.05 to 1.9 depending on how active an individual may be:Sedentary = BMR x 1.05Little activity (<30 min/day) = BMR x 1.2Light exercise (1–3 days per week) = BMR x 1.375Moderate exercise (3–5 days per week) = BMR x 1.55Heavy exercise (6–7 days per week) = BMR x 1.725Very heavy exercise (twice per day, extra heavy workouts) = BMR x 1.9Using previously obtained nutrition data (average kcal's consumed for Day 1 and Day 3 of the previous assignment), students will discuss their BMR and activity correction calculation with how many calories they consumed for the day. Did they overeat before? Under eat? Discuss factors that influence your total amount of calories consumed and why it may change from day to day.
