| The Value of the 24-Hour Activity Intake Capability
Most nutrition and fitness software packages allow you to record a client's daily calorie intake and expenditures by asking you to estimate the client's "Activity Level." Is this client Sedentary, Moderately Active, or Very Activity. Based on your estimates of the client's activity level, the software estimate calorie expenditures for that client. Many diet, nutrition, and fitness software products support this method, as do all the top nutrition and fitness software packages. But some diet, nutrition, and fitness software products have another way of recording your client's daily nutrition and fitness. It's called the 24-hour Activity Intake. When you select this option, the software asks you to record a 24-hour activity intake for the client. (Actually, one is already completed for you... you just need to edit it for accuracy.) The 24-hour activity intake records the hours of sleep, the hours in front of a computer, the time the client spends on eating, walking, etc. The software stores this as a typical day. When the client exercises, you record the exercises into the daily 24-hour activity intake. At the end of the day, you have two important numbers: the number of calories expended in activity and exercise and the number of calories taken in from the foods they've eaten. By comparing these two numbers, you will most often come up with a deficit or a surplus. And from this information, you can forecast future weights based on today's behavior. Note: This description is a feature that is available in at least one nutrition and fitness software product. In some cases, this feature may be available in a variety of nutrition software products. When this feature is available, it will be implemented in different ways by different products. The description provided here is an accurate description of how this feature works in at least one of these products.
