Question

mario logged his food for the day as a granola bar (200 calories), milk (150 calories), 2 slices of pizza (500 calories), yogurt (150 calories), a bag of chips (140 calories), a salad (500 calories), a milkshake (500 calories), and a soda (140 calories). his bmr is 1500 calories, and he burned a total of 950 calories through playing football and other activity. what is marios outcome?
his energy intake was greater than his energy expenditure.
his energy expenditure was greater than his energy intake.
he achieved energy balance for the day.
there is not enough information to tell.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total calorie intake

Add up the calories from each food item:
$$200 + 150+500\times2 + 150+140+500+500+140$$
$$=200 + 150+1000+150+140+500+500+140$$
$$=(200 + 1000)+(150+150)+(140+140)+(500+500)$$
$$=1200+300+280 + 1000$$
$$=1500+280+1000$$
$$=1780+1000$$
$$=2780$$

Step2: Calculate total energy expenditure

BMR is \(1500\) calories and he burned \(950\) calories through activity. So total expenditure is \(1500 + 950=2450\)

Step3: Compare intake and expenditure

Calorie intake \(=2780\), calorie expenditure \(=2450\). Since \(2780>2450\), his energy intake was greater than his energy expenditure

Answer:

His energy intake was greater than his energy expenditure.
