She has two young children (Barney: age 5, Merna: age 3) who keep her quite busy. She comes to you because she knows that she is overweight and generally has been feeling fatigued. She reports that she does only light physical activity around the house and jokes that she increases her heart rate by watching soaps. She wants to try to become active and lose some weight.You perform a series of tests and here are the results:NameEleanor KentRBP136/86Height65″Cholesterol207Weight175 lbs.Tricep skinfold32 mmAge35Suprailliac skinfold27 mmRHR80Thigh skinfold45 mmEst.

To compute, total the food over three days, then divide the results by three for a daily average.) [MO1, 2]Compute your client’s percent body fat (see text pages 193 to 195, “Assessing Body Mass Index and Body Composition”). Also compute fat weight and lean body weight using page 202, “Setting Goals for Target Body Weight.”Compute your client’s resting metabolic rate using the equation provided below. Also add on the calories expended through physical activity.Conversions:lbs to kg: number of lbs/2.2inches to cm: number of inches x 2.54Also add on the calories expended through physical activity.

Active100%What diet-related suggestions can you provide Ms. Kent to help her reduce caloric intake but still eat a healthy diet?Ms. Kent indicates that she is willing to walk 3 times per week (about 150 calories each time, or walking 1.5 miles). Compute how many extra calories she would burn per week due to this increase in exercise.How many weeks would it take before the additional calories burned equaled one pound of weight loss?Finally, calculate a goal weight for her at 28% fat. Remember to assume no change in lean body mass:Calculation Example: lean weight = 165 lbs, desired percent body fat = 15%165lbs/ 1 – .15165lbs/.85165lbs/.85 = 194lbsHow many pounds does she need to lose to get to 28% fat?Assuming prudent weight loss guidelines, how long will it take?
