Energy Expenditure See Problem 79. The basal energy expenditure for females is given by
E = 665.1 + 9.56W + 1.85H − 4.68A
Compute the basal energy expenditure of a 40-year-old female who is 168 cm tall (5 feet. 6 inches) and weighs 57 kg (125 pounds).
79. Energy Expenditure Basal energy expenditure (E) is the amount of energy, measured in calories, required to maintain the body’s normal metabolic activity such as respiration, maintenance of body temperature, and so on. For males, the basal energy expenditure is given by the formula
E = 66.67 + 13.75W + 5H − 6.76A
where W is the weight of the male (in kilograms), H is the height of the male (in centimeters), and A is the age of the male. Determine the basal energy expenditure of a 37-year-old male who is 178 cm (5 feet: 10 inches) tall and weighs 82 kg (180 pounds).
