Return to the MyPlate food plan calculator, and make an eating plan for someone whose weight and age are different from yours. You can change the person’s age, gender, and activity level. How does this checklist differ from yours? Why do you think the person’s energy needs are different?

Answer:

Males generally need more calories than females. Because men have an overall larger body in both height and weight, they need to consume more calories. For a male who is 20 years old, 5 feet and 10 inches, weighs 198 pounds, and has moderate physical activity, he should consume about 2,800 calories per day. That is about 1,000 calories more than my average caloric intake. To consume that many calories, he should eat 2 ½ cups of fruit, 3 ½ cups of vegetables, 7 ounces of protein, 3 cups of dairy, and 10 ounces of grains per day.

Answer:

Increase consumption of food to increase weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is my friend who is very weak and thin about 52 kg weight and he is one year older than me. I wanted to increase his weight up to 70 kg so I will recommend him to eat more nutritive food having large amount of proteins because proteins made muscles in the body. I suggest him to eat more food and exercise regularly to have a muscular body. The checklist is different from my checklist due to different goals. I wanted to lower my weight and increases the weight of my friend. My friend's energy needs are different from mine due to different goals to achieve.
