A male patient is 6 feet 5 inches (195.5 cm) tall, weighs 190 lb (86.4 kg), and is 37 years old.
The patient is very active and enjoys running 2-3 miles a day and playing on a recreational
soccer team three times a week. Using the Harris-Benedict formula, the patient's total energy
requirement is __ kcal/day. Round the answer to the nearest whole number. - answer✔✔3419
The patient's height is 195.5 cm, his weight is 86.4 kg, and he is 37 years old. The patient
engages in "heavy exercise," running daily and playing soccer three times per week. Therefore
his PA coefficient is 1.725.The Harris-Benedict TEE formula for this patient is shown
below.TEE (kcal/day) = 66.47 + (5 × height [cm]) + (13.75 × weight [kg]) - (6.755 × age [yr]) ×
PATEE (kcal/day) = 66.47 + (5 × 195.5) + (13.75 × 86.4) - (6.755 × 37) × 1.725TEE (kcal/day)
= 66.47 + (977.5) + (1188) - (249.935) × 1.725TEE (kcal/day) = (2231.97 - 249.935) ×
1.725TEE (kcal/day) = (1982.035) × 1.725TEE (kcal/day) = 3419.01Rounded to the nearest
whole number = 3419 kcal/day
A 32-year-old female patient is 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm) tall and weighs 168 lb (76.4 kg). She is
moderately active and enjoys playing tennis four times a week. According to the Mifflin-St. Jeor
equation, the patient's total energy requirement is __ kcal per day. Round the answer to the
nearest whole number. - answer✔✔2784
The patient is 165 cm tall, weighs 76.4 kg, and is 32 years old. The PA coefficient for the patient
is 1.550 because she is moderately active.The Mifflin-St. Jeor TEE formula for this patient is
shown below.TEE (kcal/day) = (10 × weight [kg] + 6.25 × height [cm] - 5 × age [yr] - 161) ×
PATEE (kcal/day) = (10 × 76.4 + 6.25 × 165 - 5 × 32 - 161) × 1.550TEE (kcal/day) = (764) +
(1031.25) - (160 - 161) × 1.550TEE (kcal/day) = (764) + (1031.25) - (-1) × 1.550TEE (kcal/day)
= (1795.25) - (-1) × 1.550TEE (kcal/day) = (1796.25) × 1.550TEE (kcal/day) =
2784.1875Rounded to the nearest whole number = 2784 kcal/day
