Now that each team member has calculated their BMR, use this to
calculate  each  individual’s  total  caloric  needs.  To learn how many
calories your body uses in any given day, you need to factor in your
activity level. To determine your total daily calorie needs, multiply your
BMR by the appropriate activity factor, as follows:
•
If you are sedentary (little or no exercise): BMR x 1.2
•
If you are lightly active (easy exercise/sports 1-3 days/week): BMR
x 1.375
•
If you are moderately active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5
days/week): BMR x 1.55
•
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week): BMR
x 1.725
•
If you are extremely active (very hard exercise/sports and physical
job): BMR x 1.9
Process (BMR x exercise)

Caloric needs

1,201.50 x 1.375
1,423.75 x 1.375
1,459.00 x 1.375
1,240.25 x 1.375

1,652.06
1,957.66
2,006.00
1,705.34

The result of this multiplication is the total number of calories we would need
to maintain our current weight.
4. After you finish calculating the minimum caloric requirements, each
team member should propose a healthy and balances menu that
specifies what foods you would eat throughout a day (including their
portion size and caloric value) according to wither they want to
maintain, increase or loose weight.

Healthy and Balanced Menus:
For Gaining Weight:
Breakfast
-1 large egg omelet (96 calories)
-1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese (49
calories)
-2 slices nitrate/nitrite free turkey bacon (70
calories)
-1 slice whole wheat bread, toasted (100
calories)
-1 medium-sized orange (62 calories)
