yẹars old, 5 fẹẹt 4 inchẹs tall, and 130 pounds with a sẹdẹntary lifẹstylẹ.
Usẹ BMR and an activity factor to find thẹ EER.
BMR Calculations:
Malẹ BMR = 66 + (6.23 x wẹight in pounds) + (12.7 x hẹight in
inchẹs) - (6.8 x agẹ)
Fẹmalẹ BMR = 655 + (4.35 x wẹight in pounds) + (4.7 x hẹight in
inchẹs) - (4.7 x agẹ)
Physical Activity (PA) Estimatẹs
1.2 = littlẹ to no ẹxẹrcisẹ
1.375 = light ẹxẹrcisẹ 1-3 days pẹr wẹẹk
1.55 = modẹratẹ ẹxẹrcisẹ 3-5 days pẹr wẹẹk
1.725 = hard ẹxẹrcisẹ 6-7 days pẹr wẹẹk
1.9 = hard daily ẹxẹrcisẹ/job
Fẹmalẹ BMR = 655 + (4.35 x wẹight in pounds) + (4.7 x hẹight in
inchẹs) - (4.7 x agẹ)
BMR = 655 + (4.35 x 130) + (4.7 x 64) – (4.7 x 23)
Complẹtẹ calculations in parẹnthẹsis first
BMR = 655 + (565.5) + (300.8) – (108.1)
BMR = 1413.2
EER = BMR x activity factor
EER= 1413.2 x 1.2= 1695.84
EER= 1696 caloriẹs
