•Your task will be to: assess how healthy these 4 characters are based on their Body Mass index : BMI

•You will then have to calculate the energy requirements of 1 or more of the characters.

•Then, working as a nutritionist you will have to design a healthy meal for one or more of the characters based on the information you’ve gathered.

Finally you will design a poster on everything you have done in this unit / what you’ve learnt.
