A Diet and Exercise Program for Charles

It has been two weeks since Charles met with Daniel, a dietitian, who provided Charles with a menu for weight loss. Charles and his mother are going back to see Daniel again with a chart of the food Charles has eaten. The following is what Charles ate in one day:

Breakfast

1 banana, 1 cup of nonfat milk, 1 egg

Lunch

1 cup of carrots, 3 oz of ground beef, 1 apple, 1 cup of nonfat milk

Dinner

6 oz of skinless chicken, 1 baked potato, 3 oz of broccoli, 1 cup of nonfat milk

Using energy values from Table 3.9, determine each of the following:

a. the total kilocalories for each meal

b. the total kilocalories for one day

c. If Charles consumes 1800 kcal per day, he will maintain his weight. Would he lose weight on his new diet?

d. If expending 3500 kcal is equal to a loss of 1.0 lb, how many days will it take Charles to lose 5.0 lb?
