           _______

            Height (m)2

or be lazy and use this site  https://www.bupa.co.uk/health-information/tools-calculators/bmi-calculator

Use the information in the table to calculate each character’s BMI and then answer the questions below…

Which characters are underweight?

                                                                                                                  

Which characters are normal?

                                                                                                                  

Which characters are overweight or obese?

                                                                                                                  

Have another look at McBain. Why might BMI not be an accurate measurement of how healthy he is (hint – does he LOOK like he has a weight problem?)?

Food Diary

Over a THREE day period you need to make a food diary, all foods consumed need to be listed and kilojoules/calories worked out. You also need to work out your energy output (activity) that you have done throughout the day, including sleep.

Use websites such as http://www.calorieking.com/ which will tell you how many calories are in food and  www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc to work out your energy used (make sure you convert calories to kilojoules). You can also use www.myfitnesspal.com that you can print off and includes nutrients and calories.
