Health 7

In the lab today, we want to keep working with the diet and exercise information we discussed in class. You will need you record of three days of meals (everything you ate over 3 days) as well as the physical activities you have done.
You will also need your daily calorie requirements (how many calories you should be eating) to do some calculation.

Follow this link to input what you ate and to calculate how many calories it is. Be independent-minded while doing this - there is no absolute correct value for most things, but do you best to figure out roughly the numbers.

Next you can subtract your physical activities. Find the number of calories burned at this link.

You won't find every activity there, so be creative and find another source of data if this one doesn't work for you.

This will take some time - but for each day recorded, figure out how many calories you ate, how many you burned, and determine if this was more or less than what you should have each day.


I will check all the completed work next health class (Thursday for 7B, Monday for 7A).

Good luck!
