 Description
There are two activities
for this program, Serving
Size and Your
Energy Needs.
In Serving
Size, students
are introduced to solid
and liquid measures and
to the concept of “serving
size.” In Your
Energy Needs, students will figure
out how many Calories a
typical teenager needs every
day. Baseline Calorie needs
(also called Basal Metabolic
Rate, or BMR) can be estimated
based on gender, age, height,
and weight. Each student
may calculate his or her
own baseline Calorie needs.
Instructional
Objectives
The student will
- estimate serving sizes
of different foods and
compare their estimates
to serving size information
provided on “Nutrition
Facts” food labels.
- estimate their average
daily energy (Calorie)
needs.
