2) Harris-Benedict: 1. Male Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) = 66.47 + (13.75 x kg) + (5 x cm) - (6.76 x age)
Female Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) = 655.1 + (9.56 x 75.7kg) + (1.85 x 170cm) - (4.68 x 22age)= 1,590

What are the vitamins/minerals & electrolytes that there may be increased need for in this athletes diet? Why?:
(If none, state why not)
A, C, E= antioxidants for the oxidization that occurs in exercise.
B vitamins= because with exercise there is an increased turnover of these vitamins
Sodium, chloride, potassium: lost in sweat, used in fluid balance
Iron= mainly in women, low energy intake means low nutrients means low iron which can lead to amenorrhea and lost bone density
Discussion Questions:
1. BMI
a. What category (normal weight, overweight, etc.) does the calculated BMI put the individual in? Do you feel BMI accurately reflects
this individuals health and body weight?
My BMI is 26 which is only 1 above healthy weight. I feel that this is accurate because I have been working on overall wellness for a
while, but at the beginning of this semester I was at 29 which is the high end of overweight, 1 under obese range.
b. What considerations and information, in addition to BMI, are needed when assessing an athletes body weight or body composition?
When it comes to elite athletes BMI can be irrelevant and it can influence bad nutrition practices because most athletes have much
more lean body mass which can weigh much more than subcutaneous tissue. Body fat percentage is a much better way to calculate for
athletes because from there you can determine what is needed and what could be lost.
2. General calorie requirements:
a. Of the methods of estimating calories, which do you think provided the most accurate caloric estimate? Why?
I think the most accurate was Harris-Benedict at 2,464.5 kcals because my estimated BMR on chronometer.com is 1,572. This gives me
just under 900 more kcals to burn in a day and I live a very active lifestyle. So, this should be easy to do. I do massage and skincare, so
my body is my tool and I hardly ever sit, in school I have a number of fitness classes that keep me active added to my own workouts that
I do within a day. I also have a goal of about 10-25 more lbs to lose to get to a healthier body fat percentage and to maximize my
performance so I want to stay on the lower side while I cut and adjust later. However, I do think this is more accurate on my most active
days where something at a bit lower of a number would be sufficient, but the lowest calculation was 10 calories/lb at 1,670 where at
even on my slowest of days would most likely cause a huge caloric deficit.
b. While the methods used on the Sports Nutrition Profile are regression equations, which method of estimating energy needs is the
most accurate?
Calculating needs with BMR and calories expended throughout the day, day to day for that person.
