Question

Erek is preparing for the upcoming football season by hitting the gym every day. His coach advises him to see a dietician to make sure he's eating properly to support his lifestyle. After keeping a food record, he calculates that he eats an average of about 405 grams of carbohydrates and 205 grams of protein each day. Derek is 1.88 meters and about 80 kg. Working out he's been feeling sluggish, sometimes dragging himself through practice.

Hi. Although you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions related to it. This makes it impossible for me to show you any answers. However, when searching for your text, I found a question that used it. This question asked you to calculate Derek's BMI and comment on his health status. If this is the case with your question, I hope the answer below will help you:

Answer:

Derek's BMI is 22.63 and this indicates that he is of normal weight and in good health.

Step-by-step explanation:

The BMI is the body mass index that the body has. This index is very important to determine if a person is malnourished or obese and thus better understand the health of that individual, in order to improve or maintain it.

BMI is calculated by dividing an individual's weight by that individual's height squared. In Derek's case, we would calculate his BMI divided 80 by 1.88 squared. That would equal 22.63.

In the figure attached below we have a table on how to interpret this result. According to this table, we can understand that Derek's BMI result shows that he is of normal weight and appropriate for his body, which indicates that he has a good standard of health.
