Scenario: Earl is 30 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighs 150 lbs, with 30% of that weight being fat. He is a type 2 diabetic but that has not stopped him. He is on a fitness journey and has made physical activity a key part of his lifestyle. As a person with type 2 diabetes, Earl is well aware that his body easily frees glucose from storage (glycogenolysis) but has difficulty transporting the glucose into muscle fibers. This causes elevated blood sugar. Earl enjoys swimming and uses swimming as exercise for endurance. When Earl swims, he is particularly concerned that once his glucose stores run low, his body will not successfully switch to fat oxidation. Question: Calculate Earl's BMI. Now convert Earl's body fat into kilocalorie values. a) How many pounds of fat does Earl have? b) Assuming that the energy value of body fat is 3500 kcal per pound, how many kilocalories does Earl have stored in his body fat? c) Suppose he loses 15 lbs. For the purpose of this question, assume that Earl exercised enough to retain virtually all his lean body tissue. Now he weighs 135 lbs. How many pounds of this is fat? What percentage of his body weight is now fat? d) How many kilocalories does a 15-pound loss of fat represent? e) If a periodized diet and exercise plan provides a deficit of 500 kcal/day (that is, 500 kcal less each day is eaten than is spent), how many days (or weeks or months) will it take to lose that much fat? f) What are the best methods for assessing Earl's body composition, both in the field and in a laboratory? Would the recommended assessment method change from the beginning of Earl's journey to the end (assuming a large change in body composition)? Show all work.

A diet center claims that it has the most effective weight loss program in the region. Its advertisements say, "Participants in our program lose more than 2 pounds within a month." Six clients of this program are weighed on the first day (Before) of the diet and then one month later (After). A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) Client Before After 1 163 161 2 204 196 6 153 136

Please answer the following questions and show all your calculations: 1. What is Ms. D's current BMI? (0.5 point) 2. How would you classify Ms. D's BMI? Are there any risks associated with this BMI? (0.5 point) 3. What is the amount of extra Kcal that Ms. D has been ingesting every day for her weight to increase at the specified rate? (1 point) 4. How can you describe Ms. D's lifestyle? In particular, discuss her daily activity and exercise. (1 point) 5. What are a few strategies that you would recommend for Ms. D to help her lose weight? (1 point) 6. A charity she is working with is planning an 8 km race. She plans to start jogging for one hour each day. What source of energy will she be using (fat vs carbs)? Explain. (1 point) Ms. Diana is a 43-year-old married woman with 2 kids aged 8 and 5 years old. Ms. D is an accountant and she works at a company where most of her day involves sitting behind a desk. During her day at work, she is barely active and she always takes the elevator. Ms. D has a housekeeper who deals with all house chores, grocery shopping, and cooking. After work, Ms. D comes back home around 6, sits a bit with the kids, and reads to them in bed. After that, she spends some time with her husband while watching their favorite show. Ms. D currently weighs 85 kgs and her height is 175 cm. For the past four months, she noticed that she has been gaining weight at a rate of approximately 2 kg/month. She also noticed that for the last couple of months, they had lots of events at work that involved some celebrations and trainings where food was offered and mostly consisted of sandwiches, cookies, doughnuts, cakes, and soft drinks. She also observed that she has been having either microwaved popcorn or some chips while watching her favorite night show. Ms. D decides that she wants to lose the gained weight and therefore, enrolls at the gym and attends cardio classes 3 days a week for a 45-minute duration.
