Total for each macronutrient Total kcals for meal:
1. Use the food labels to fill in the following grid: (25 points)
2. Calculate the % of kcals contributed by each nutrient to this meal by dividing the kcals for the macronutrient by the total kcals for the meal and multiplying the resulting decimal by 100. (Hint: the total of the percentages should add up to roughly 100.) Show your work below. (5 point)
Carbohydrates Protein Fat
3. Compare the percentages you calculated in #2 to the AMDR for each macronutrient (found in Chapter 1). Does this meal meet the requirements for overall health? Why or why not? (5 point)
4. Ron is 50 years old, is 5’9” tall and weighs 265 lbs. He is not a vegetarian. He is currently sedentary – he works a desk job and does very little physical activity.
Calculate Ron’s EER using the formulas and Activity Factors found in your notes. (10 points)
Calculate Ron’s BMI (formulas can be found in the notes and in Chapter 9). (5 point)
Based on Ron’s BMI, how would you classify his weight? Why? (5 point)
Calculate Ron’s daily protein requirement using the DRI value for healthy adults. (5 point)
E. Ron begins an exercise routine that consists of 30 minutes per day of walking 3 MPH and 15 minutes per day of light weight training. Using the interactive tool found at the following link, calculate his daily calorie expenditure from exercise. (5 point)

After 6 months, Ron has lost 20 pounds and is down to 245. Recalculate his EER (be sure to use an activity factor that reflects his new lifestyle). (10 point)
Based on his new EER, calculate the distribution of macronutrients, in kcal, that he should eat each day. Assume that his diet should be 50% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 20% protein.
(To calculate this, multiply the kcal total you calculated for EER by the percentage for each macronutrient.) (5 point)
Carbs Fat Protein
Based on the kcal you calculated for each macronutrient in G (above), how many grams of each nutrient should Ron eat each day? (Divide the number of total kcals for each nutrient – from G – by the number of kcals/gram for that particular nutrient.) (5 point)
Carbs Fat Protein
Recalculate Ron’s BMI. (5 point)
J. Discuss the changes to his body size, energy needs, and presumable health benefits resulting from his new exercise routine. What suggestions would you give Ron to keep his motivation and positive exercise results? (10 point)
