INTRODUCTION
A personalised weight loss program is prepared for individual person to lose weight. This
contains of various steps by which an effective diet plan is prepared. In that various things are
calculated such as energy intake and expenditure, physical activity done, etc. (Green Corkins, &
Teague, 2017) This helps in obtaining relevant outcomes by which weight loss is done. Besides,
there is need to maintain healthy diet so that obesity problem does not occur.
This report will describe about a 47 year old woman who want to lose weight. Thus,
overall food table is given.
METHODS
Food dairy and food table- It is a method that is taken in which it describe about how much food
and drink intake is consumed by a person. This helps in calculating total energy intake by
individual. Basically, there are two types of food diary that is weighed and estimated. So, this
assessment is used to measure food items (Correia, 2018) Moreover, food table method is used
which shows components of each food or drink that is consumed by individual. It contain
nutrients level of type of food that is taken.
Physical activity journal- This is a method which shows relationship between physical activity
and health. It helps in finding out PAL level. With that, it state that how much daily physical
activity is consumed. Besides, it estimate a person total energy expenditure in a day. In this there
are 3 levels identified in it that is low, moderate and vigorous (Ludwig, & Ebbeling, 2018). The
Pal value is calculated through a formula that is TEE / BMR. Thus, it shows actual energy
requirements.
Predictive equation for energy expenditure- this method is used to calculate correlation of resting
energy expenditure. It helps in showing how much energy is consumed in 24 hours a day. By
that it makes simple to find out energy consumed by female or male (Carbone, Lavie, & Arena,
2017).
Anthropometric measurement- are a series of quantitative measurements of the muscle, bone,
and adipose tissue used to assess the composition of the body. The core elements
of anthropometry are height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body circumferences (waist, hip,
and limbs), and skinfold thickness. In this there are 4 measures that is commonly done in it that
is weight, height, waist and hip. However, among them most common used are BMI and waist to
hip ratio (Rinninella & et.al., 2019).

on height, age and gender. This enable in showing that how much weight is of person as per their
gender (Kuo, . and Hou, 2018).
