As exercise intensity and duration change, so do your caloric needs. Calculating your total daily caloric needs is a helpful step in putting together your “nutrition blueprint”. It provides a framework for understanding how much fuel is required by the body on a daily basis. The first step estimates the calories required while the body is at rest: all of your organs require a minimum of calories to function. Next, the energy used to support daily activity apart from exercise (walking from class to class, doing housework, etc.). Lastly, the calories expended to support training are calculated.

Use the attached document to complete the steps and calculate your BMR and Total Calorie Expenditure.
