It is important to remember that this unit is not about losing weight but maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We want to see calories in equal the calories out.The below graph is an example of a 9-13 year old girl with a sedentary lifestyle, she burns calories with the exercise associated with day to day living. The advised calorie intake for her lifestyle is 1,600 calories, she consumed 1,850 this is 250 calories more than allowed therefore we want to see 250 calories burnt off with exercise. This graph shows the ideal calorie balance that we hope to see in all students by the end of the unit.
