 Discussion: Compute Energy Expenditure & BMI

Based on your food diary from Section 3 of this unit, assess how you would have to make dietary adjustments if you added in moderate activity. In other words, compare your energy needs with and without moderate activity. Your needs should obviously increase. You can use the same web based resource (Choose My Plate Daily Food Plan) to help you. Discuss what you would do to make changes in your diet. What food groups would you choose from to make those adjustments for the increased activity?

Comment on some of the entries of your classmates. Refer to the discussion rubric for guidance.

Post your entry to the Discussion: Compute Energy Expenditure & BMI forum in the discussion area.
