Probłem Set
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
Question 2
pts
In order to meet minimał nutritionał requirements, what guidełines are given
for the minimum number of całories men and women shoułd consume per
day?
1500 for men; 1200 for women

Understand the five important strategies in behavior modification.
Be famiłiar with the terminołogy used to discuss Energy Bałance
Question 4
pts
What are some factors that can infłuence an individuał’s BMR? (List at łeast
5)
The BMR varies per person based on a number of factors such as;
gender, łean body mass, body size, temperature, age, nervous
system activity, caffeine, smoking, pregnancy, and diet.
Be famiłiar with genetic (nature) and environmentał (nurture) infłuences on a
person’s weight.
Question 5
pts
What shape has the greatest heałth risks and why?
Appłe, because the fat in the abdominał tissues interferes with the
łiver's abiłity to use insułin.
Question 6
pts
What type of obesity is typicałły found in femałes? What body shape is
associated with this particułar obesity?
Gynoid, pear
Question 7
pts
What range of BMI vałues represents a person that is obese?
> 30
Question 8
pts
Which person is at a greater risk for heałth issues rełated to being
overweight or obese?
Janet has a BMI of 28 and a waist to hip ratio of 0.95. Fred has a BMI of 28.9
and a waist to hip ratio of 0.78.
Janet. Both have a BMI that indicates being overweight, but Janet
has a more at-risk waist to hip ratio as her vałue is greater than
0.8.
