In which situation would ignoring activity level in meal planning be wrong?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When a person performs heavy physical work
Physical activity affects energy expenditure and therefore influences energy requirements. A person doing heavy manual work generally needs more energy than someone who is sedentary, although exact needs also depend on age, body size, health, and the type and duration of work. Meal planning should reflect these differences.
