...During this week we discussed the various components and variables that will encompass the program overall. We have determined that the program will need to obtain various information from the user during the entirety of the program. This is not to just run the program, but to also make the experience more user-friendly. We have determined that we will need to acquire the user's name, calorie limit/goal, total caloric intake, and if exercise was done, the total amount of calories burned. With the information is acquired from the user we can formulate the amount calories the user has left to stay within their goal. From there, we can provide a message to provide encouragement or praise depending whether or not the user is staying within their given goal. Lastly, we have determined that we will also need a greeting, a farewell, and thank you messages to make the whole user experience much more approachable. Next, we are aiming to formulate and layout the logical flow. We are also aiming to write out the various tasks and subtasks to accomplish the program. The general pseudo code is as follows: Start Display greeting text Ask for user's name and create variable for user's name Acquire the user's caloric limit/daily goal Ask for the user's total intake for the day Ask the user if they exercised and receive calories burned Calculate if the user is over or under goal and display the remaining calories for the day Show encouragement if user is over their limit...

...Team B Calorie Count Tool PRG/211 May 5, 2014 Team B Calorie Count Tool PROBLEM STATEMENT Team B was asked to develop a program which would calculate the user’s daily intake of calories and measure those calories against the overall calories expended. The core purpose of this program will do two primary functions. First, it will record the user intake of calories as acquired through meals throughout the day. Second, the user will record caloric output associated with physical activity. This information will be calculated together to determine the caloric surplus or deficit for the user. In order for the program to execute accurately, and provide customized results, the user will be required to input personal data to include gender, age, weight, and height. This additional information is essential to determine the user’s default caloric burn rate, otherwise known as the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The BMR and the calories burned as a result of physical activity will be calculated against the intake of calories to determine the overall success for the user. As the program is executed it must: * Record user name, age, height, weight to enable more accurate calculations * Record the users specific caloric values entered for each meal * Record the user activity and caloric burn values for that activity * Calculate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) for the individual * Subtotal the total caloric values for the day * Combine the physical activity and...

...The Effects of Calorie Restriction on Aging by christiano Introduction For ages, humans have been searching for ways to counteract the aging process. The legendary fountain of youth generated much attention in the past, and more recently, thousands of dollars have been spent each year on creams, pills, plastic surgery, and various forms of therapy designed to make one look and feel younger. So far nothing has been proven to reverse or even retard human aging, but scientists are finally catching a glimpse as to a dietary manipulation technique that might work. Preliminary Experimentation In the 1930s, Clive McCay, a scientist at the laboratories at Cornell University, experimented on his rats by feeding them less than they would ordinarily take for themselves, but without depriving them of nutrition to the point of starvation. He found that the food-deprived rats lived considerably longer than expected for a standard rat's life span, and about 33 percent longer than his control group of rats, which were fed as much as they wanted to eat (Weindruch 46). McCay didn't fully understand his results, and although published, they were generally disregarded by the science world (Man Immortal). Years later, Roy Walford, a nutritionist working at the University of California at Los Angeles Medical Center, came across the documentation of McCay's experiments, and, using modern technology and mice instead of rats, picked up where McCay had left off (Man Immortal). Walford found that...

...amount of the fiber, which do not contribute to the calorie, had been deducted from the amount of the carbohydrate stated in this Food Calorie List (except for the “Vegetables”, where the amount of the fiber is stated in the parenthesis). 2 – Kcal/g is the value of calorie in 1g of the particular food. The value tells you the calorie density of the food; the higher the value, the denser calorie the food has. 3 – There are 2 ways of determining the calorie of the food using this Food Calorie List: ◦ Using the recommended serving size given, then refer to the respective calorie value stated in the “Calorie (Kcal)” column. ◦ Using Kcal/g as a factor. For example, if you weigh the Mee Kari using a kitchen scale and the weight is 100g (without the bowl's weight), therefore the calorie of the weighed Mee Kari should be 0.77 x 100g = 77kcal (Notice that 0.77 is the Kcal/g of the Mee Kari). Panduan Pengguna 1 – Kandungan serat (tidak mempunyai nilai kalori) telah pun ditolak daripada jumlah karbohidrat yang dinyatakan dalam Food Calorie List ini (kecuali kategori “Vegetables”, yang mana nilai seratnya dinyatakan dalam kurungan). 2 – Kcal/g adalah nilai kalori bagi 1g untuk sesebuah makanan. Ia memberitahu pengguna akan kepadatan kalori makanan tersebut. Semakin tinggi nilai Kcal/g, maka semakin padatlah kalori dalam makanan tersebut. 3 – Terdapat 2 cara dalam menentukan nilai kalori sesebuah makanan menggunakan Food Calorie List ini: ◦ Dengan menggunakan saiz hidangan yang...

...butter and jelly sandwiches, cereal with milk, fruit smoothies and turkey sandwiches. It is also important to continue to exercise to ensure that the weight gain is mostly muscle. In particular, resistance training will be an important factor for building muscle. Although it will take some time, the slower the weight gain, the more likely it will be to be muscle gain not fat or water gain. Losing Weight Weight loss is a more common goal than weight gain. Losing weight involves a negative energy balance. This can be achieved by increasing exercises and decreasing caloric intake. Determining Calorie Needs: What is Calorie? A calorie is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celcius. Because this is relatively small amount, scientists use larger unit Calories (upper case C), also called a kilocalorie (abbreviated kcal). The Calorie or kilocalorie, is 1, 000 calories. Total energy expenditure (TTE) is the total number of calories of your body needs on a daily basis and determined by the following: . Your basal metabolic rate (BMR). . The thermic...

...Topic: Why Dieting Makes you gain weight. Thesis: Dieting unfortunately can make you gain weight depending on many factors. There are a lot of positives for sticking to a diet but mainly there can be a lot of negative outcomes if you do not follow a diet the correct exercise and calorie intake you could find yourself gaining weight while doing the diet you are on. There are a multitude of different dieting plans, some more effective than others. Which is why some plans may or may not work the way you like. Main topic one. Dieting Can easily have negative influences on the way you exercise. Most diets will always require some form of cardio to be able to get the best results. Exercise is always key to be able to produce good results without gaining weight from improper dieting. Main topic two. Gaining weight during a diet is also due to the fact of the inconsistency of eating too much. Eating too little can cause other health related problems like catabolism. This happens when your body looks for other sources on food that hasn’t been eaten say your vital organs or muscle. Some studies show that you need at least 1200 calories per day for women and 1800 a day for men. Eating high calories can be harmful if you don’t exercise with it. Diet and exercise and necessary to not gain weight. Main topic three. There are many different types of diets that help with different circumstances on how you want to take care of your body.

...Feel the burn Which workout is best for you? Andy Darling is your guide Saturday 15 January 2005 The Guardian 1: Jogging/running The simplest yet most effective exercise in terms of caloric expenditure, because it's an entirely weightbearing activity, requiring greater energy output than if you were seated or supported by water. Softer surfaces require harder work and result in still higher caloric expenditure. Great for fat burning, and for the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs). Not so good in terms of muscle toning and flexibility. Can cause too much stress on knee joints, particularly on uphill runs. Calories burned in 30 minutes: Approximately 340 jogging, 560+ running 2: Pilates Created in the mid-20th century by Joseph Pilates, it uses mat and machine work to develop body awareness. It also teaches you how to use muscles more efficiently, bringing together strength and flexibility, two factors that don't always sit easily together. Great for instilling a sense of "how to move" and to hold oneself . Not so good in terms of calories burned. Calories burned in 30 minutes: Approximately 140 3: Indoor rowing An integral training aid for the multi-medalling GB water rowing crews, the Concept2 ergometer - "erg" for short - has given rise to a sport in its own right, with competitions around the world. Some come to it because their days of weight-bearing activity (ie running) are over, others use it for cross-training, burning nearly as many calories as running...

...Energy comes in a variety of forms: light, heat, motion, electricity, and so forth. The energy stored in food is measured in units of Calories. A Calorie is defined as the quantity of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water 1°C. (Don’t confuse Calories with calories: 1Calorie = 1000 calories – Tricky!) The energy in food is seen as heat because the energy is released as heat when food is combusted (or burned). Complete combustion results in the production of energy, carbon dioxide and water. Look for evidence of these products during the lab. In this lab, you will measure the amount of energy in calories in two types of nuts: peanuts and almonds. The accepted values for these nuts are 5180 calories/gram for peanuts and 5470 calories/gram for almonds. When you eat nuts, the energy in the nuts is...
