Today the students worked on calculating their BMR's. the calculation is a pretty simple one, but seems to give the students trouble. Here it is:
Boy-Wt X 11 Girl -Wt X 10 = BMR CALORIES
ACTIVITY CALORIES
Multiply BMR CALORIES by the activity percentage below
inactive-.30 active-.50 very active-.75
(the number should be smaller) AND round up or down no need for decimals
They calculate their digestion calories by adding their answers for step 1 and step 2 and then multiplying that number by .1 (answer is significantly smaller....in the hundreds)
Step 4 is adding all of the numbers together= BMR calories + Activity calories + Digestion calories.
they also had a trivia question today. SSR tomorrow and Health Articles are due on Friday!
