3. The Calorie Connection
Your Energy Balance
Metabolism = the process by which the body breaks down substances and gets energy from food
It takes 3,500 calories to equal 1 pound of body fat
Foods high in fat will be high in calories
Gram of fat contains 9 calories vs. Gram of protein or carbohydrate contains 4 calories
Sugary foods contain more calories vs. fresh vegetables and fruits which contain more water and fiber

4. Maintaining a Healthy Weight
The right weight for each person is based on several factors: age, gender, height, body frame, and stage and rate of growth
Body Mass Index (BMI)
A measure of body weight relative to height
Overweight
Heavier than the standard weight range for your height
Body Composition
The ratio of fat to lean tissue in your body
Skin fold testing – measuring thickness of skin folds at different points on the body to determine stored fat within the skin
BMI testing is a quick evaluation but not the most accurate

5. Determining BMI Convert your height into inches
Divide your weight in pounds by your height in inches
Divide that result by your height again
Multiply the result by 703
Then check the chart to determine whether you are at risk for being overweight or underweight
