Question

Part 1: Define BMI

You must define BMI, though not just with a general definition indicating its relationship to height and weight. Please also do not forget to define the actual term BMI.

Part 2: Calculate Your BMI

My BMI is 26.9 = Overweight = 25–29.9

Part 3: Compare/Contrast BMI & Individual Plan

There are three sections to this part of the assignment, and for the first part, you need to designate where your BMI falls according to the standard tables (underweight, normal, overweight, obese). In the second part of the assignment, you need to develop a dietary plan for your BMI value, and for the most part, you need to be as detailed as possible. Basically, I would like to see a day in your life according to where your current BMI falls. You need to include how many calories you plan on taking in and why, and you also need to develop a day's worth of eating with specific foods and portions. (Please note: this should be a healthy plan using the sound nutrition principles we've learned in this class, which may be different from your current habits) As far as the exercise plan, again, you need to be as specific as possible. The goal of this section is to develop a plan that incorporates all of the components of a sound fitness program (flexibility, endurance, strength training, body fat, and cardiovascular), as well as discuss specific exercises that you plan on doing. Basically, the goal is to produce a weekly plan, with specific exercises, that has all of the components of a sound fitness plan.

Answer 1

Part 1 - Defination of BMI :

BMI - Body mass index

It describes the relative weight for height and is a measurement used to identify increased risk of mortality and morbidity due to excess weight and obesity. It can also monitor changes in body weight from treatment.

Part 2- My weight is 59kg , height is 156cm ( 1.56m )

BMI = weight in kg / height in cm

= 59 / 1.56× 1.56

= 24.2 kg/m2 ( normal BMI )

Healthy BMI range: 18.5 kg/m2 - 25 kg/m2

#. My current dietary plan is :-

Breakfast - two chapati with curry and black tea

Lunch - three chapati with curry

Snacks - one fruit

Dinner - 3 small cups of rice , two curry

This dietary plan provides me calories more than what i require that is 2000 per day

As my BMI is going somewhat towards the overweight range ,i should decrease my calorie intake and also work out more because my job is a sitting job .

I should make changes in my diet , first change is have a good and heavy breakfast which will provide me energy for whole day ,have a light dinner including fruits and vegetables like 1bowl of fruits according to season , exercise regularly even its for half an hour in the evening because i don't get time in the morning . In the exercise , i would include :-

Aerobic exercise

Strength building.

Balance Training.

Endurance.

Flexibility.
