ANALYSIS Energy Balance 1. (10 points) Answer the following questions using the table below. i. Cronometer provides your estimated “Calories Burned” based on the information you provide in your account. Enter your “Calories Burned” and “Calories Consumed” into the table below. ii. In the third row of the table below, discuss whether you are in positive or negative energy balance and its significance for you (e.g., weight changes, overall energy level, etc.). Calories Burned 1731 Calories Consumed 1800 Are you in positive or negative energy balance and what does this mean for you? I am in positive energy balance. This means I gained fat or I’m taking in more energy than the amount my body needs. My energy level is lower because of the extra fat I took in. 2. (10 points) This question has three parts. Please show your math steps in all three parts below to receive credit. i. Using your data from Question 1 above, what is the difference in calories between your “Calories Burned” and your “Calories Consumed”? 1800-1731= 69 calories ii. If you were to maintain that difference in calories every single day for one year (365 days), what would be the total calorie deficit or surplus you would have for that year? 69 x 365= 25,185 calorie (surplus for the year) iii. Our textbook explains that a surplus or deficit of 3,500 calories will lead to a 1-pound change in body weight. If you were to have a surplus or deficit of the total calories you determined above, what would be your change in weight for that year? 25,185/3500 =7.195 This would a weight gain of about 7 pounds for the year. 3. (10 points) Scenario: Your doctor is recommending that you lose 10 lbs. Our textbook describes safe weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week. Using your “Calories Burned” from your Cronometer report, determine how many calories per day you would need to eat to lose 1-2 lbs per week. Show your math steps to receive credit. 1731-500 = 1231 per day for 1lb of weight loss per week
