3. Calculate the EER for a female who is 33 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, 145 pounds with a low
activity lifestyle.
Activity Level PA Men PA Women
Sedentary - No exercise 1.00 1.00
Low Activity - exercises the equivalent of walking 2 miles per day at 3-4
1.11 1.12
mph
Active - exercises the equivalent of walking 7 miles per day 1.25 1.27
Very Active - exercises the equivalent of walking 17 miles per day 1.48 1.45
Males: EER = 662 - (9.53 x AGE) + PA x (15.91 x WT + 539.6 x HT)
Females: EER = 354 - (6.91 x AGE) + PA * (9.36 x WT + 726 x HT)
