5. Work the following example:
X gains 25 pounds during the year.
How many calories has he averaged
daily over his maintenance diet?
KEY:
25 lbs. fat = 400 oz. fat.
1 oz. fat represents 275 C. food consumed.
400 oz. = 400 x 275, or 110,000 C.
110,000 ÷ 365 = 301 C.
Answer. X has eaten 301 C. per day more
than necessary.
6. How many calories have you averaged daily over your maintenance diet? And what could you have left off your menu and kept from gaining all that weight?
