Summary Introduction
To determine: The body size of Person T based on his weight-for-age, height-for-age, and BMI-for-age percentile.
Introduction: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts are used to determine physical growth in children of 2–20 years of age. These charts are gender specific and are plotted in percentiles. These charts help in assessing and identifying health-related problems in children.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Person T, aged 7-years, was examined in an annual visit to the pediatrician and was found to weigh 68 lb (31 kg), which was at the 95th percentile for his age. He had a height of 50 in. (127 cm), which was between 75th and 90th percentiles for his age. With the BMI (19.25) at the 95th percentile for his age, his growth percentiles were increasing every year. Person T has a habit of snacking, and his lifestyle does not include much physical activities.
Refer to illustartion 15.1 “CDC growth charts: United States”, given in the text book. Accroding to this CDC growth chart, weight of Person T is in upper range; height is above the normal range, and BMI is also above the normal range.

Andree is a 25-year-old powerlifter. He weighs 235 lbs and is 6 ft 1in tall. His average day includes 90 min weight lifting at a MET of 6. He does HIIT workouts 3x/week for 30 minutes at a MET of 8.
TDEE with TEA including both workouts: 2900 kcals + (961 kcals) + (427) - (213 kcals) = 4075 kcals
Analyze his macronutrient needs. Determine the percentage ranges and g/kg ranges for protein and carbs. Determine the percentage range for fats. Prioritize carbohydrates and protein and determine the kcals of each. Determining remaining fat intake and double-check the percentage is within a healthy range.

Given that if Colton's weight is 96 kg, his relative VO2 is 13.02. Colton's "bad knees" prevent him from running on a treadmill, so you decide to prescribe cycling exercise for him.
