Derek 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. A trainer at the gym overhears Derek commenting on his concern about consuming too little protein and suggests trying one of the protein powders sold by the gym.

Answer:

Derek's range is "22.634". so he is in perfectly healthy condition. A further explanation is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Person's weight,

kg = 80

Height,

m = 1.8

The formula will be:


BMI=(kg)/(m^2)

By substituting the values, we get

=(80)/(3.5344)
