lab Questions
1. How do the intake of nutrients and expenditure of energy relate to a metabolic level?
The metabolic rate, or level, refers to the amount of energy the body uses to maintain itself
and achieve homeostasis. Metabolism involves various processes that convert nutrients into
energy to be used by the body for various functions. Ideally, the energy obtained from
nutrient intake should match the amount of energy expended in order to maintain the body
at its current state. An individual's metabolic rate depends on the intake and expenditure of
nutrients, which provide the energy needed for expenditure. Additionally, the metabolic
rate is influenced by factors such as basal metabolic rate, physical activity, age, sex, and
physical condition.
2. Do you think you take in more calories than you burn in a day? Why or why not?
"Negative, I believe I consume fewer calories than I burn. The reason for this is that I've
been tracking my macronutrient intake for over 5 years, and it has become second nature
to me. I measure my protein intake in ounces and my carb intake in grams. For fats, I
typically use a tablespoon to portion it out over my food. Alongside tracking my
macronutrients, I also adhere to a strict physical training regimen, which includes strength
training 6-7 days a week for approximately 2-3 hours per session".

EXPERIMENT 1: TRACKING YOUR NUTRITION
Introduction Questions
1. State the method(s) you will use to track your nutrition of the three day period required by
the experimental procedure. If you will use a website to track your nutrition, state which
site you will use. If you will build a spreadsheet or keep a written log, state what
information you will record. Your chosen method should relate logically to the data you
obtain and the analysis you conduct in the following sections.
I typically use RP Diet App, but they do not have nice graphs for nutrition intake. I will use
https://cronometer.com as recommended in the lab.
