Step five
Prepare a menu for 1 day for your patient, considering the average need for each of 3 nutrients (fats, proteins, carbohydrates) per kg of a body and total number of calories requirement. Don't forget water!
Step one
Play a vocabulary game
Step three
Define 4 factors that influence nutritional requirements
Step two
Now, divide a class into four groups.
Since now, each group will be following similar tasks, but for different people.
The task in this step is to count BMI for your patient. Decide, what her/his weight is (correct, overweight, obese, underweight etc.)
Group 1: Your patient is Sara, she’s twelve. She’s a student 1,5 m tall and her weight is 48 kg
Group 2: Your patient is John, he’s 45. He is a white-collar worker, his height is 1,78 m and his weight 102 kg. He doesn’t do any sports.
Group 3: Your patient is Tom, who is 20, he is a fireman. His weight is 80 kg and he is 182 cm tall.
Group 4: Your patient is Mary, she’s 56. She works as a teacher. She’s 1,65 m tall and her weight is 45 kg. She walks her German Shepherd twice a day - about 6 km distance.
Step four
Establish calories needed per day for your patient (see: resoucers)
