I am planning a diet for a hospitalized patient who cannot participate in physical activity because both of his legs are broken and he will be bedridden for 6 weeks. Which of the following would best assess my patient’s energy expenditure?
a.)Body composition
b.)Basal metabolic rate
c.)Physical activity level
d.)Adaptive thermogenesis
I was thinking B since basal metabolism is the largest component of energy expenditure.

I’ve done a little research, and it tells me that cardiovascular activity actually burns fat all over the body. How is that possible? It seems that it would only (in the case of running) burn fat in the legs. I want to lose lots of fat all over my body by reducing my caloric intake and increasing my cardiovascular activity, but it just doesn’t seem like I’m getting any results.

I’m 29 with a total knee replacement. I am the youngest patient my doctor has ever done a knee replacement on. I need to start exercising. I can’t run or do to much with my legs besides walk because of my TKR. How can I exercise with this knee replacement? Best answer with the most suggestions will get 10 points gladly. Thanks!!!

I kick and sweep my legs in my sleep. I can’t help it, I just do. It’s not restless leg syndrome, as I don’t need to move my legs all the time. If I keep my legs still, I don’t experience pain or discomfort or anything. I also seem to kick the most when I lay on my stomach. I go to sleep on my back, but I’m such a restless sleeper, I toss and turn and end up on my stomach. Lately, I’ve been waking up with a wound on my big toe, which I believe to be due to me kicking my foot board. But I don’t wake up after inflicting this wound, as I am a heavy, heavy sleeper. I’ve fallen off the top of a bunk bed and remained asleep after landing.
But yeah, I kick my legs, but I’d like to stop. Does anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to stop myself from kicking in my sleep?
Read my question people. I thought of RLS, already, I’ve researched it, and I don’t have the symptoms. I don’t experience pain or discomfort if I keep my legs still. It’s an involuntary action that occurs when I’m asleep.
