[Link] 2/8
1/26/26, 2:16 PM Stephany Lopes's Quiz History: Module 3 Problem Set
Male BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age)
Female BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age)
Physical Activity (PA) Estimates
1.2 = little to no exercise
1.375 = light 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 daily exercise/job
Female 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)
Complete calculations 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 calories

Question 10
Not yet graded / 0 pts
Ignoring factors other than age, how does BMR change as a person grows older? What does this mean
for their dietary intake?
Your Answer:
Our BMI declines 1-2% pre decade. If we don't change / lessen our dietary intake or incorporate physical
activity, we will slowly gain weight.
As we age our BMR declines by 1-2% per decade. If no change in diet or activity level occurs
from one decade to the next, a slow weight gain will be the result.

2517 calories per day
BMR Calculations:
Male BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age)
Female BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age)
Physical Activity (PA) Estimates
1.2 = little to no exercise
1.375 = light 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 daily exercise/job
Male BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age)
BMR= 66 + (6.23 x220) + (12.7 x 74) – (6.8 x 41)
Complete calculations in parenthesis first
BMR = 66 + (1370.6) + (939.8) – (278.8)
Then add and subtract
BMR = 66+1370.6+939.8-278.8=2097.6
BMR = 2097.6
Multiply the BMR x activity factor to find EER
EER = 2097.6 x 1.2 =2517.12
EER = 2517 calories
