Haley, a 34-year-old single female, weighs 210 pounds, is 5?8? tall and has a medium frame. The physician asks you to assist Haley in planning a diet that will allow her to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. As you discuss Haley's diet with her, you determine that her typical diet consists of these foods: two pieces of bacon, two eggs, one slice of cheese on one biscuit with 8 oz of 2% milk for
breakfast; 4 oz hamburger on a bun, one cup of fries, 32 oz of cola for lunch; two slices of a 12-inch loaded pizza, two cups of salad with 2 tbsp of ranch dressing, 32 oz sweet tea for dinner; and snacks of 6 oz lite yogurt, 1 oz of chips, 1 oz of pretzels, and diet cola throughout the day.
Determine the calories burned with specific types of exercise activity. Plan an exercise regimen based on Haley's height and weight.
Haley needs to lose an additional 21 pounds to reach her goal weight of 175 pounds in 12 weeks. (With the decrease in calories, she will lose 24 pounds.) An exercise session may burn an average of 300 calories. For example, low-impact dance aerobics burn 315 calories in 30 minutes and would burn approximately 0.6 pound per week if exercise is daily. The number of calories burned may be higher or lower depending upon the intensity level and one's actual body weight.?
