Engaging Activities

Food and Calories

The two concepts are irrevocably linked,

especially in the brains of anyone who has ever

tried to lose/gain weight. Let's do something fun

with our food.

I want you to think about your favorite fast food

meal. Now get on the internet and find the calorie

count for this meal. Make sure you include every

part of the meal that you would usually get: fries,

soda, shake, etc.

Make a post that contains:

1.Your complete favorite meal and the fast food

establishment it comes from

2.The complete calories count associated with it.

3.The website wherein this information was found.

4.What percentage of a recommended 2,000

Calorie-per-day diet your meal represents. [This is

calculated by taking: (your meal's total calories /

2000) x 100]

Then, go back and respond to one other person's

whose meal interests are similar to yours.

Provide

authentic

learning

experiences
