Answer 1

1)BMI( Body mass index)

BMI = WEIGHT (kg) /[HEIGHT(m)]2.

a)Convert 250 lbs to 113.398Kg

b)Convert 6'0" inch to 1.82m

BMI =WEIGHT(KG)

____________ =113.398/1.82m x 1.82 m =34

HEIGHT(m) x HEIGHT (m)

Maintain for excersices :depend on the time duration of excerise( 2400 KCAL approx)

To maintain weight ; 2835-2908 kilo calories

2)BEE(Basal Energey Expenditure)

according to HARRIS BENDICT EQUATION :

BEE(MEN) :66.5+(13.75xkg) +(5.003 X cm)-(6.775 xage)

Total kilo calories =2197 k cal/day

The above 50 year old man need more than the expected result is around 2746kcal/day
