  2. Guys vs Gals • Boys and girls are different • Boys: more muscle mass – Why would this be? • Girls: more fat storage – Why would this be? • More muscle = faster metabolism • Burns calories faster, uses protein and sugars fast • Less muscle = slower metabolism • Unused calories store as fat • Even if started as protein or carbohydrates http://www.kidsnutrition.org/consumer/archives/percentDV.htm

  3. Age Matters • Metabolism is fast as a child • Toddler Evelyn moves all day and eats constantly • Doesn’t gain much fat/weight • Still growing • Metabolism changes in puberty • Hormones kick in – estrogen vs testosterone • Muscle mass development & fat storage starts to differentiate by gender • Metabolism slows as one ages http://www.kidsnutrition.org/consumer/archives/percentDV.htm

  4. Activity Level Matters • Athletes & Active People • Burn more calories • Use protein and carbohydrates immediately, not much stored as fat • Faster metabolism • Can intake higher numbers of calories and nutrients • Sedentary & Less Active People • Burn fewer calories • Store extra, unused calories as fat • Lower overall metabolism http://www.kidsnutrition.org/consumer/archives/percentDV.htm

  5. Body Type & Build Matters • Taller, bigger, more muscle • Need to consume more to maintain stature • May have faster metabolism • Select high number in ranges • Shorter, petite, less muscle • Need to consume less to maintain stature • May have slower metabolism • Select low number in ranges • Average, in the middle • Choose a number in between high and low http://www.kidsnutrition.org/consumer/archives/percentDV.htm
