Question 4 • PMHS Health Q2

Charlene has a BMI of 29; therefore, she wants to change her body composition. Which plan would be BEST for her?

Answer

She should exercise 60 minutes a day, eat six small meals that equal less than 2,000 calories, and make sure to get plenty of rest.

She should run 30 minutes a day, eat balanced meals that contain about 1,000 calories each, and sleep about six hours a night.

She should lift weights 45 minutes a day, eat 4,000 calories a day, and sleep at least 10 hours a night.

She should do cardiovascular exercises, eat six small meals that altogether equal 1,000 calories, and sleep about eight hours a night.

Explanation

A is the best plan because it combines regular physical activity, a reasonable daily calorie limit, and adequate rest. Eating six small meals is not essential, but keeping the total below 2,000 calories is more reasonable than D’s 1,000-calorie total, which may be too restrictive. B provides about 3,000 calories from its meals and only six hours of sleep, while C recommends 4,000 calories a day.
