4. Calories A Calorie represents one unit of energy. Human beings are like cars in that we both need fuel to operate. Cars need gasoline, and humans need food. Cars burn gasoline to convert it into energy. Humans burn food to convert it into energy. Gasoline is measured in gallons, and food is measured in calories. A calorie is a measure of the energy supplied by foods you eat and drink.
5. How Many Calories Do I Need? Calorie needs vary by age, gender, and activity level.Kids need more because they are growing and active and teens need even more. Boys need more than girls because they are usually bigger and stronger Physically Active people need more calories because they burn more calories and need to replenish their energy. 1,600 calories/day is about right for many sedentary (inactive) women and some older adults.Older adults need the fewest because they are no longer growing and are often sedentary (inactive) due to mobility problems or health conditions. 2,200 calories/day is about right for most children, teenage girls, active women, and many sedentary (inactive) men. Pregnant or breast-feeding women may need more (about 500 more calories per day).2,800 calories/day is about right for teenage boys, many active men, and some very active women.
6. Calories eaten, must equal calories burned It is important that the number of calories we eat matches with the number of calories we burn.The calories that are not burned are stored as fat. All our activities burn some calories Even when we sleep our heart and lungs are working which burns calories. Different activities burn different amounts of calories.ACTIVITY CALORIES USED(15 minutes)Sitting 20 – 25Walking 60 – 75Bicycling 90 – 115Jogging 145 – 180Swimming 145 – 180
7. Calories NeedsThe amount of calories an individual should eat each day is partly determined by how active that individual is. A person who burns a lot of calories is described as ACTIVE. Active: Exercise Regularly A person who is inactive and burns very few calories is called SEDENTARY. The more calories you burn the more fuel you need. Sedentary: Lazy, couch potato, does not exercise
