Theresa is a 17-year-old high school student who gained 20 pounds her junior year of high school when she quit the girls’ soccer team and joined the debate team. She is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 154 pounds. She has been monitoring her food intake for 2 weeks and reports eating about 1600 kcalories a day. Although her weight is stable at this calorie level, she would like to lose weight. She notes that she does not get regular exercise and wants to become more physically fit. She comes to you for a diet and exercise program that will help her achieve her goals.1. Name three facts about the benefits of muscle conditioning might encourage Theresa in her weight-loss efforts?2. Briefly explain to Theresa the three basic components of a balanced fitness program and the necessity for each component.3. Using the guidelines presented in Tables 16-1 and 16-2, set up a weekly schedule of fitness activities for Theresa. Include specific exercises and the frequency and duration of each exercise.4. Considering Theresa’s goal to lose weight, what type of exercise would be most conducive to fat loss? Give at least two examples.5. Calculate how many kcalories from carbohydrates, fat, and protein are provided in a 1600-kcalorie diet that derives 60 percent of calories from carbohydrate, 25 percent from fat, and 15 percent from protein. Calculate the amount of each of these nutrients (in grams) for Theresa to consume each day. (Remember that 1 gram of carbohydrate or protein yields 4 kcalories and 1 gram of fat yields 9 kcalories.)6. Assuming Theresa will begin her exercise program this week, what advice for fluid intake would you recommend (including type and amount)?
