Your body needs energy, protein, minerals, vitamins, and fiber. In order to get all of these, it is important to have a varied and balanced diet, and to eat the right amount of food. Your body “burns” food to energy: the amount of energy provided by food is measured in units called calories. How many calories do you need? This depends on your weight and on what you do. When you are asleep, your body uses nearly one calorie an hour for every kilogram of weight. So a person who weights seventy kilos uses about 560 calories while sleeping for eight hours. More calories are needed for different activities –from 100 calories an hour for reading or watching TV, to 350 calories an hour for playing football.
To calculate the number of calories needed per day for an average person, first find out the person’s ideal weight. Then multiply the weight by 40 for a woman or 46 for a man. A 60 – kilo woman may need about 2400 calories a day – more if she does heavy physical work and less if she is very inactive.

Selling Newspaper for Pocket Money
Yanto lives not very far from my house. He goes to an SMP in the afternoon and in the morning he sells newspaper around our neighbourhood. His father was a government employee. He retired two years ago. Now he runs a small shop beside their house. We can buy groceries in Pak Mario’s shop. The prices are reasonable so people like to go shopping there.
Yanto can collect six to seven hundred rupiahs from selling newspaper
everyday. He spends it for his pocket money. Yanto saves some of his money in the bank.
Two months ago, during the school holiday, Yanto withdrew some money from the bank and with his family he went to visit his grandmother. Mrs. Mario’s mother was happy to see her daughter, son-in-law, and her grandchildren. They stayed for a week in Kampung Tanjung. Yanto, his sister, and his little brother enjoyed the holiday very much. They went to the rice fields, swam in the river, and learnt some Javanese songs from the village children. Yanto promised himself to come again the following year.
