Question

Suppose a young sedentary woman wanted to lose 30 pounds of body fat in a period of 20 weeks. She now weighs 160 pounds and her activity level is such so she needs 15 Calories per pound of body weight to maintain her weight. Calculate the number of Calories she may consume daily in order to lose the 30 pounds by diet only. 1,000 1,250 1,400 1,650 1,900

Answer 1

Explanation:

It takes 500 fewer calories per day for her to lose 1 lb of weight every week.

`\to (15 * 160)-500 =(2400)-500 =2400-500=1900`
