As far as your cholesterol
going up, it probably will.

:09:07
As far as you
feeling miserable, may be.

:09:11
I don't know.
:09:12
Unless you start cheating
and just order the salads.

:09:16
I also went to a fancy
new York wellness center

:09:18
to meet a registered dietician
:09:19
who would help
track my progress.

:09:21
Okay, let's start with
getting your height and weight.

:09:24
I’m 6'2".
:09:25
I weight about 185.
:09:28
For your height,
this is a healthy weight.

:09:30
I can tell you that
right now.

:09:32
Your BMI,
which is the body mass index,

:09:34
is within normal limits,
which means you're not obese.

:09:36
You're actually
at the correct weight.

:09:38
So, I should keep a checklist
of the things that I eat

:09:41
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
:09:43
Your calorie needs
are gonna be averaging

:09:45
about 2,500 calories a day.
:09:47
As far as fat goes,
for 2,500 calories,

:09:49
you're gonna want about
80 grams of total fat in a day.

:09:52
The saturated fat, which is
a component of total fat,

:09:56
you want to have
less than 25 grams a day.

:09:58
Don't try to overindulge
too much.

:10:00
Good luck, Morgan.
:10:02
Hi, there. I'm Eric Rowley,
our exercise physiologist.

:10:05
Great.
:10:06
Rowley:
the official weigh-in...

:10:11
1851/2.
:10:13
We'll go through
the cardiovascular assessment,

:10:15
and then I'll be able
to calculate

:10:18
how much oxygen
your muscles can utilize,

:10:20
and that's also an indicator
:10:21
of what type of condition your
cardiovascular system is in.

:10:24
All right, good work.
:10:27
I’m gonna use
these skinfold calipers

:10:30
to estimate
your body density.

:10:32
You're 11% body fat.
that's great.

:10:34
We're gonna
measure your flexibility

:10:36
of your hamstrings, your hips,
and your lower back.

:10:38
Good, good.
very nice.

:10:40
38 centimeters
was your best.

:10:42
There's a basic
old-school test

:10:45
for muscular strength
and endurance.

:10:47
36. Good job.
:10:48
You're above average
:10:50
above average fitness
for your age group,

:10:52
definitely, I'd say
you're at a good spot right now.

:10:55
More than 60% of Americans
get no form of exercise,

:10:58
so for the next 30 days,
neither will I.
