quad

English to Spanish Medical Medical: Health Care estudio sobre salud general de los pacientes
For a 150 pound quad this works out to about 1545 calories a day.
• A healthy para needs around 12.7 calories per pound per day. If you weigh 150 lbs, that calculates to about 1905 calories daily.
If you want to actually lose weight – or, gain weight for that matter – you need to know that for every 3500 calories that you eat beyond what your body needs to maintain itself, you’ll gain about a pound; for every 3500 calories that you cut back, you should lose a pound. However, if you are wanting to lose weight, it’s good to reduce your calorie intake slowly. Don’t try to cut your total daily calorie intake to less than 1400 or 1500 calories.

Para mi, es "persona" pero me llama la atención....gracias por las sugerencias!!!!
