2. Bellringer Describe what a “healthy weight” means to you. How would someone obtain and maintain a healthy weight? ( 3 – 6 sentences )

3. What would happen…. If a person had a snack (peanut butter and jelly sandwich) before bed every day for a week, a month, a year without changing anything about his/her diet or activity level. Find the number of calories in – Two slices of bread – Two tablespoons peanut butter – One tablespoon jelly Calorie Calculator https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/foodtracker.aspx?CatgoryID=- 1&FoodDescription=peanut%20butter Calculate the weight gain in pounds for a week, month, or year considering that 3500 calories extra is equal to one pound of added weight.

4. Finding Balance http://www.cdc.gov/CDCtv/FindingBalance

5. Calories Consumed Handout What are the differences between menu A and menu B? How do we know if the person ate enough or too much? There are two ways to affect the balance of calories: 1. Consume more or less calories 2. Expend more or less calories Healthy weight loss diets incorporate both ways—you eat less calories by choosing lower fat foods (naturally lower in calories) and consuming smaller portion sizes. You also burn more calories by exercising. Creating a small calorie deficit of approximately 300 to 500 calories per day (burn 300 – 500 more than you consume) will cause you to lose 0.2 pounds to 1 pound per week. (One pound is approximately 3500 calories.) If you wish to gain weight, you could consume 300 – 500 calories more than you burn each day for a weight gain of 0.2 pounds to 1 pound per week. It is not considered healthy to gain or lose weight faster than described above
