Energy Needs
• Many different methods for
estimating energy needs have
been used over the past years. For
his discussion, the Harris-Benedict
equation will be used to find out
the resting metabolic rate (RMR).
The RMR is the level of energy
required to sustain the basic
functions of the body such as
breathing.
Men:
RMR = 66.5 + (13.7 x w) + (5.0 x h) – (6.8 x A)

Women:
RMR = 655.1 + (9.56 x w) + (1.85 x h) – (4.7 x A)
Eating Habits
• One of the most important tools available to
help you select healthy food is the Nutrition
facts label found on the most packages. This
label gives you information about the food’s
serving size and content, including nutrients
like, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins,
and minerals. The Nutrition Labeling and
Education Act 1990 (NLEA) in the United
States mandated the most labeling, and that
nutrient content claims and proved health
claims could also be placed in the food
packaging.
According to the Food Nutrition Research Institute
(FNRI), a Nutritional Facts label in food packages
must contain the following:
• The serving size in both household and metric measures,
which shows how much of the product a person actually
eats.
• The amount of calories from the product.
• The amounts of nutrients and heir percent daily values
(%DV); the %DV shows how food fits into one’s overall daily
needs.
• Number of calories per gram of fats, carbohydrates, and
proteins.
• The amount of glycogen in the muscles and liver
partially determines how long you can continue to
exercise at moderate to high intensities.
• The body needs between 24 and 48 hours to
replace completely depleted glycogen stores. You
can also increase your glycogen by eating more
carbohydrates.
• A normal diet typically supplies sufficient protein
which ideally supplies about 15 percent of the
body’s energy.
Types of Eating
• FUELING FOR PERFORMANCE
• EMOTIONAL EATING
• SOCIAL EATING
• EATING OUT OF HABITOR FOR RECREATION
OR HABITUAL OR RECREATIONAL EATING
SLEEP
Sleep plays a major role in ensuring the
good health and well-being of an
individual. Sleep recharges a person’s brain,
helps repair cells, and helps the body
release important hormones. However,
many still overlook the importance of sleep
as one of the factors in staying fit and
healthy. Sleep deprivation or loss can make
a person feel cranky, decrease alertness,
and trigger feelings of stress, anger, and
sadness.
Here now are some practical ways to
establish better sleeping habits:

• Establish a routine for sleeping and waking times,


including weekends, and then stick to it.
• Ensure that your sleeping area is conducive for
sleeping, which means it should be quite, well
ventilated, and free from possible distractions.
• Get regular exercise. But make sure your exercise
sessions are not close to your sleeping time.
• avoid caffeinated drinks and sweet food in the
evening.
• Turn off or put into silent mode your electronic
devices before you sleep.
STRESS
MANAGEMENT
periods of stress probably haunt you at
times. The term stress becomes colloquial
whenever someone is in great distress, or is
experiencing exhaustion, whether
physical, emotional, or intellectual. Long-
term consequences of stress can lead to
health problems and prevent you from
experiencing a good quality of life.
