Step One: Generate Your Individual Using an AI Tool
Using ChatGPT or a similar AI tool, you will create a fictitious AI-generated individual, their background, a three-day food diary, and a three-day physical activity diary.
Step Two: Complete the Energy Intake Calculations
Using the three-day food diary, you will:
- Look up the kilocalorie values for each food item
- Use credible online nutrition references
- Fill in the provided Food Diary tables in the template
- Calculate the total kilocalories for each day
The AI may not provide calorie values (it is not a credible source). You must determine these on your own.
Step Three: Complete the Activity Energy Expenditure Calculations
Using the three-day physical activity diary
- Determine the kilocalories per kilogram per minute for each activity using credible online sources
- Use your template to calculate energy expenditure for each activity
- Fill out the Activity Intensity Summary
- Complete the Energy Cost for Activities table
- Determine the Total Energy Expenditure for each day
You must convert all values correctly. Do not use the AI to research energy expenditure. It is not a credible source.
Step Four: Determine Basal Metabolic Rate and Specific Dynamic Action
Using the individuals height and weight
- Determine Body Surface Area using the provided chart in the template
- Use the BMR constant chart to calculate BMR per day
- Calculate Specific Dynamic Action according to the instructions in your template
Complete all related tables.
Step Five: Write Your Lifestyle Evaluation Report
This is the most important part of the assignment.
Write one half page to one full page addressing the following
- Evaluate whether the person is likely to maintain their weight, gain weight, or lose weight if these three days represent their typical lifestyle
- Compare their total energy intake to their total energy expenditure
- Discuss whether their eating habits seem nutritionally appropriate
- Interpret their BMR, SDA, and activity level and how these relate to their overall health
- Offer reasonable lifestyle suggestions based on their background
This section is worth the most points. Use complete sentences and clear reasoning.
