Question

Sally is a 30-year-old female. She weighs 140 pounds and is 5’6”. Sally is an employee at a hardware store and walks around the shop periodically throughout the day to help customers. Susan does not have a car, so she walks 0.5 mile to work and from work. After she comes home, she relaxes for the rest of the day.

Based on this information about Sally, calculate her estimated energy requirement (EER) and BMI.

1. Age (5 points):
   1. 40 years
   2. 30 years
   3. 58 years
   4. 22 years                       
2. Physical Activity Factor (5 points):
   1. 1.00
   2. 1.11
   3. 1.12
   4. 1.25
   5. 1.27
   6. 1.45
   7. 1.48

Based on the chart below (also in book):

3. Weight in kilograms: (*hint* 2.2 pounds= 1 kilogram) (5 points): Round to the nearest whole number
   1. 64 kg
   2. 70 kg
   3. 140 kg
   4. 84 kg
4. Height in meters: (*hint* height in inches/39.4) (5 points): Round to the nearest whole number
   1. 1.5 m
   2. 1.7 m
   3. 2.0 m
   4. 5’6”

Part 2: EER calculation (5 points). Please highlight your answer.

The EER calculations depend on the individual’s age and gender. Remember that height and weight for EER should be calculated in meters and kilograms. Using your answers from above, find Sally’s EER using the calculation below:

a = age

b = physical activity

c = weight in kilograms (kg)

d = height in meters (m)

EER Equation: (found on page 379)
Females, 19 years old and over:

EER = {354 - (6.91 x a)} + b x {(9.36 x c) + (726 x d)}

1. Sally’s EER is (5 points): Round to the nearest whole number for each calculated step of the equation and on your final answer.
   1. 2000 kcal
   2. 2200 kcal
   3. 2400 kcal
   4. 1800 kcal

Part 3: (20 points). Please highlight your answer.

Body Mass Index (BMI) = weight (pounds)  x  703         OR            BMI = weight (kg)

                                       height squared (inches)²                              height (m)²

a. Please select the correct BMI (lb/in2 or kg/m2) for Sally based on her weight and height. (10 points):            NOTE: In this case, because we asked you to round the weight (in kilograms) and height (in meters) for simplicity, the two BMI equations yield slightly different answers. Answers for lb/in² and kg/m² are listed below.

            a. 18.4 kg/m² or 18.8 lb/in²

b. 22.1 kg/m² or 22.6 lb/in²

c. 34.5 kg/m² or 34.9 lb/in²

d. 40.3 kg/m² or 40.8 lb/in²

2. Her BMI classifies her as what? (10 points):
   1. Underweight
   2. Normal weight
   3. Overweight
   4. Obese

Part 4: (25 points). Please highlight your answer choice.

1.                    Is the amount of energy expended to meet basic physiological needs. (5 points)

1. TEF
2. BMR
3. BMI
4. EER

2. Which of the following surgeries is generally performed for cosmetic reasons and the results are often not permanent? (5 points)

1. Gastric bypass surgery
2. Liposuction
3. Gastric banding

3. Which of the following is untrue about eating disorders? (5 points)
   1. Well intentioned diets or exercise plans can lead to eating disorders
   2. Eating disorders can be genetic.
   3. People generally grow out of eating disorders.
   4. Eating disorders are a psychological illness.
4. Which hormone is released when our stomachs are full and gives us the feeling of satiation? (5 points)

1. Ghrelin
2. Insulin
3. Cholecystokinin
4. Leptin

Adding high volume foods (nutrient-dense foods like fruits and vegetables) to your meals can add to satiety and displace higher calorie foods, which can help with weight management. Provide one example of how you could add high volume foods to a meal and explain how it makes it a healthier meal. (5 points) Ex: Adding carrots and chicken to plain ramen noodles. The added protein will increase satiety and carrots will provide fiber, vitamins and minerals. The added flavor from these nutrients can also replace the use of some of the ramen seasoning packet, which is typically high in sodium.

Answer 1

• AGE-30 YEARS
• physical activity factor -1.0
• weight kg -64 kg
• height in meters- 2 mt
• EER-2200 k cl
• BMI= WEIGHT IN KG/HEIGHT IN METER(m)2

= 63.503/1.524 x1.224= 22kg/me

BMI classified under - normal weight

AMOUNT OF ENERGY EXPECT TO MEET BASIC PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS-BMR

Gastric banding is aq temporary cosmetic surgery

A well intended diet or exercise plan leads to eating disorder-untrue

Ghrelin - is released when our stomach is full
