A control system consists of a microprocessor which needs a control program to handle data from sensors. Signals are sent from an output device to an interface box which converts signals between them.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), a 6-foot, 2-inch man who weighs 220 pounds is considered overweight. The recommended weight for a man of that height is between 144 and 194 pounds. The CDC bases its advice on body mass index.
Example. A 6-foot-tall, 28-year-old sedentary man weighing 200 pounds would calculate his BMR as follows: 66 + (6.23 x 200) + (12.7 x 72) - (6.8 x 28) = 2,150 BMR. Then multiply the BMR by 1.2 to calculate 2,580 calories needed each day.
