13 Energy Balance You stop in a park to go for a short hike. You ll be walking a lot today. You want to make sure you are eating enough to stay energized, but not more than you need. Energy Balance 1. What provides energy for our bodies? 2. How is energy in food measured? 3. What 3 different nutrients provide us with energy? 4.

Match the ways we use energy in the left column to the description in the right column (draw a line to connect them): Basal Metabolism Physical Activity Thermic Effect of Food Needed for digestion To stay alive Needed for muscular work 6. Describe Energy Balance 7. Why is physical activity important? 8. Explain how weight gain happens 9. We should choose -dense foods more often and try to consume less calories. 13

14 Energy Balance Read the descriptions of the activity levels below and decide which one best describes you. Then look at the chart to see how many calories you need daily based on your activity level. Sedentary: Doing only the light physical activity associated with typical day-to-day life, such as taking a shower, getting dressed, and taking the bus to school. Example: Someone who sits most of the day doing activities such as riding in a bus or car, watching TV, playing video games, or using a computer. Moderately Active: Doing physical activity equivalent to walking 1.5 to 3 miles a day at 3 to 4 miles per hour, in addition to the light physical activity associated with typical day-to-day life. Example: Someone who bikes for half an hour a day but doesn t break a sweat. Active: Doing physical activity equivalent to walking more than 3 miles a day at 3 to 4 miles per hour, in addition to the light physical activity associated with typical day-to-day life. Example: Someone on a basketball team Activity Level Gender Age Sedentary Moderately Active Active Female calories 2000 calories 2400 calories Male calories calories calories *Males: use the lower end of the range if you are younger and use the upper end of the range if you are older My daily calorie needs: Now look at the chart below to see how much you need from each food group based on your calorie level. Circle the row with the amounts that you need. MyPlate Amounts by Calorie Level Calories Grains Vegetables Fruit Dairy Protein ounces 2.5 cups 1.5 cups 3 cups 5 ounces ounces 2 ½ cups 2 cups 3 cups 5 ½ ounces ounces 3 cups 2 cups 3 cups 6 ounces ounces 3 cups 2 cups 3 cups 6 ½ ounces ounces 3 ½ cups 2 cups 3 cups 6 ½ ounces ounces 3 ½ cups 2 ½ cups 3 cups 7 ounces ounces 4 cups 2 ½ cups 3 cups 7 ounces ounces 4 cups 2 ½ cups 3 cups 7 ounces 14

15 Energy Balance Directions: Using the chart on page 14 or your personalized plan from SuperTracker, fill in the number of calories you need daily and the number of servings you need from each food group (or use the standard amount for 2000 calories).
