Sorry for the delay, I have been home home for the week! But today we discuss adult and older adult nutrition starting at the age of 21 and going until death. We discuss the important body changes and some recommendations. This episode is relatively short and to the point, but full of good information concerning your health!

Energy Needs Estimation Equations:
Mifflin-St. Jeor Equation:
Men: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5.
Women: (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161.
Multiply that value with the following activity factor:
Sedentary: 1.2
Lightly active: 1.375
Moderately active: 1.55
Very active: 1.725
Extra active: 1.9
