This assignment is based on a diet for myself on Saturdays when I train in Rugby. I train for about two hours, sometimes up to two and a half hours. I will be looking how I can maximise my performance through my diet. Firstly I will need to work out my BMR (basic metabolic rate), this is a minimum number of calories needed to support my body's weight, in other words, how much do I need to eat in order to neither lose or gain weight. The equation is as follows for my resting BMR, this is the amount of calories I would burn if I rested all day. Body weight in KG * 25 = cals/day ?75 * 25 = 1875 cals/day The reason for the number 25 is because on average, the resting body uses 25 calories per Kg of body weight. This calculation is not accurate enough to tell me...
