This hypothetical amount of calories intake is way below my normal level of calories

intake. I am a young man with high caloric needs and my daily caloric intake is about 2800

calories. This intake is sufficient for my proper nourishment and keeps me productive

throughout the day. At my age I have a high basal metabolic rate hence need more caloric

energy required for their growth and development. The above hypothetical calories intake

cannot sustain my daily nutrient needs compared to my daily caloric needs. As a result, to

maintain sufficient levels of intake of calories, I would have to adjust the above diet

according to meet my daily needs.

My normal intake of calories is sufficient and meets the standard caloric intake needs

for my age. The above hypothetical caloric intake is as already stated below my usual intake

and cannot serve my daily caloric needs. Therefore, modifying my diet to reflect on it would

result to serious malnutrition and less productivity. I would not be willing and able to modify

my diet to reflect this intake as I am more physiologically active hence a higher resting basal

metabolic rate that would be affected by a lesser caloric intake. Reducing my caloric intake

would result to unhealthy weight loss while my aim has always been to maintain but a little

increase in my body weight would not be a course of concern as compared to the weight loss

that can result from the above hypothetical intake of calories. Additionally, my normal intake

of about 2800 calories a day has adequately supported my muscularity development and

since muscle require higher amount of energy for proper growth, development and

maintenance, I have to maintain this higher amount of calories intake in my diet.
