Energy Needs Calculation The point value is in parenthesis for each question. 60 pts total. The person we are considering is a 22 year old, 6" tall male who weighs 185#. Show your work for all calculations:
1. (2) What is his weight in kg?
2. (5) What is his RMR using the Mifflin-St. Jeor Equation?
3. (5) Assuming he is 10% body fat, what is his RMR using the Cunningham Equation?
4. (4) What is his RMR using the simplified formula?
5. (4) What is his estimated daily energy expenditure if he is sedentary?
6. (6) If he is sedentary, how many calories of his TEE would be attributed to his RMR? Physical Activity? Thermic Effect of Food?
7. (4) If he is an endurance athlete, with moderate to intense training most days/week, what would his daily energy expenditure be then?
8. (3) What is his daily recommended carbohydrate intake in g/kg?
9. (4) What is his total daily recommended carbohydrate intake in g? How many calories will he be getting from CHO?
10. (3) What is his daily recommended protein intake in g/kg?
11. (4) What is his total daily recommended protein intake in g? How many calories will he be getting from PRO?
12. (6) Using the answer you got from question #7, how many calories does he have "left" in his daily energy expenditure after you account for the calories from CHO in question #9 and from PRO in question #11?
13. (4) How many g of fat should he then be consuming daily, assuming he wants to remain in energy balance?
14. (6) What are the percentages of his daily energy intake he is getting from carbs, protein, and fat?
1-84 kg
2-BMI is 25.9
8- carbohydrate intake 6-10 gm / kg
Carbohydrate Needs
The USDA recommends that 45 to 65 percent of your total daily
calories come from carbohydrates.
For example: To consume 60% of total daily calories from
carbohydrate sources:
• A moderately active 18-year old male who requires 2800 calories a
day would need to consume 1680 calories from carbohydrate
sources.
• A moderately active 18-year old female who requires 2000 calories
a day would need to consume 1200 calories from carbohydrate
sources.
Fruits, vegetables, grains, and milk are carbohydrate sources.
