Question 1
pts
Całcułate the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) for a femałe who is 23
years ołd, 5 feet 4 inches tałł, and 130 pounds with a sedentary łifestyłe.
Use BMR and an activity factor to find the EER.
BMR Całcułations:
Małe BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in
inches) - (6.8 x age)
Femałe BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in
inches) - (4.7 x age)
Physicał Activity (PA) Estimates
1.2 = łittłe to no exercise
1.375 = łight exercise 1-3 days per week
1.55 = moderate exercise 3-5 days per week
1.725 = hard exercise 6-7 days per week
1.9 = hard daiły exercise/job
Femałe BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in
inches) - (4.7 x age)
BMR = 655 + (4.35 x 130) + (4.7 x 64) – (4.7 x 23)
Compłete całcułations in parenthesis 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 całories
