  1. Balancing Nutrition Food Physical Activity

  2. According to the Oxford Dictionary: “the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water through 1 °C (now usually defined as 4.1868 joules).” What is your definition? WHAT IS A CALORIE?

  3. Calories Calories give us the energy we need to do our tasks. • Empty Calories – foods that are high in sugar and/or fat and provide little or no nutrients. • Calorie Dense – foods that contain a high amount of nutrients such as vitamins and minerals.

  4. What does this mean to you? Calories in

  5. How do you know how many calories you should be eating every day?

  6. Traditional Calorie Needs Calculations: Gender Formula Men RMR = 88.362 + 4.799(cm) + 13.397(kg) - 5.677(age) Women RMR = 447.593 + 3.098(cm) + 9.247(kg) - 4.33(age) Height = cm (1" = 2.54cm). Weight in kg (2.2# = 1kg). Age in years The above calculation is then multiplied by an activity factor representing your level of daily activity. Sedentary = x 1.2 Light = 1.375 Moderate = x 1.55 Active = 1.725 Hard = x 1.9 Example: For A sedentary 140# women, 5’6”, 35 years of age: RMR = 447.593 + (3.098 x 167.6cm) + (9.247 x 63.6kg) – (4.33 x 35 years) = 1403.4 calories 1403.4 calories x 1.2 = 1,685 calories/day Reference: ACE

  7. CALORIES IN: • The amount of calories a person needs depends upon their gender, weight/height, age and activity level. Adapted from:

  8. What does 1,600 calories a day look like?

  9. Nutrient: a substance that animals, plants and people need to live and grow. Carbohydrates: A nutrient in food that includes sugars, starches, and fibers. Examples of foods that contain carbohydrates include cereals, breads, pasta, rice, fruits and vegetables. Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel Other Examples of Nutrients include: Vitamins:Fat-soluble or water-soluble substances essential in very small amounts for normal growth and activity of the body and obtained naturally from plant and animal foods. Examples of vitamins include Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin D. Minerals:Help your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. The best way to get the minerals your body needs is by eating a wide variety of foods. Examples of minerals we get from food include calcium, sodium and potassium.

  10. Fat:Nutrient that supplies energy (calories). It is essential to the body and helps to absorb fat soluble vitamins. Examples of foods sources of fat include oils, nuts, and animal products. Carbohydrates, fats, and protein all have calories. Carbohydrates contain 4 Calories per gram Proteins contain 4 Calories per gram Fats contain 9 Calories per gram

  11. How does your body use calories? • Body functions – breathing, walking, sitting, sleeping, sweating • Exercise – playing sports, running, P.E. class • Approximately 3,500 calories = 1 pound • Exercise is the most effective way to burn calories calories used

  12. Adapted from McArdle, W., Katch, F., & Katch, V. (2001). Exercise Physiology: Energy, Nutrition, and Human Performance (5th Ed.). Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Body weight in pounds divided by 2.2 = body weight in kilograms

  13. Exercise burns calories while you are moving but continues to burn calories after the workout is complete • Strength exercises burns an additional amount of calories because it builds muscles and muscle tissues burn more calories than body fat calories used

  14. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

  15. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend: Key Guidelines for Children and Adolescents Children and adolescents should do 60 minutes (1 hour) or more of physical activity daily. • Aerobic: Most of the 60 or more minutes a day should be either moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, and should include vigorous-intensity physical activity at least 3 days a week. • Muscle-strengthening: As part of their 60 or more minutes of daily physical activity, children and adolescents should include muscle-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days of the week. • Bone-strengthening: As part of their 60 or more minutes of daily physical activity, children and adolescents should include bone-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days of the week. • It is important that you participate in physical activities that are appropriate for your age, that you enjoy, and that offer variety.

  16. Hydration: Part of eating healthy includes staying hydrated. Did you know that some foods contain a high amount of water? Cucumbers are 96.7% water Celery95.4% water Tomatoes 94.5% water Watermelon 91.5% water Spinach 91.4% water Strawberries 91.0% water Grapefruit 90.5% water Baby Carrots 90.4% water Cantaloupe 90.2% water
