Current BMR, expected activity level and total daily caloric intake.

Start with a brief paragraph including

1.  Your current BMR, expected activity level and total daily caloric intake.  I will also need your weight (real or preferred) to check your numbers. 

2.  In this brief paragraph, also explain anything I would need to know to make sense of your list. 

Follow with:

3.  A list of items you will need to stay in peak physical health for 8 weeks, WITH a reason why you chose this item.  Your reasons should be brief while still identifying which knowledge area to which the item relates and end notes are required.  You need to shop for yourself, alone.  You can still live with family or roommates but they will not factor into this assignment. 

a)  YOUR LIST MAY NOT EXCEED 30 ITEMS.  Your list should only include items directly related to the knowledge areas we have covered in class.  They are mentioned in the scenario description above.  

b)  Specific quantities of each item are not required for this exercise. 

c)  You do not need to include regular household items.  I will assume you have things like laundry soap, personal hygiene products, pots and pans etc.  

For example my list would start like:

1. Chewable vitamin C tablets – important for healthy bone and blood tissues, fresh food won’t last and cooking destroys vit C, prevents scurvy.1

2. Canned pumpkin – high in fiber and Vitamin A which is good for eyes and mucus membrane health, antioxidant.1

3. Dark Chocolate – high in flavinoids, great antioxidant, makes me happy which is part of wellness.

etc.  up to 30 items
