Jack's gross EE during 31 minutes of exercise was 487 kcals. Jack weighs 178 lbs. Calculate his net EE for this same bout of exercise. Round your answer to the first decimal place
To calculate the net Energy Expended (EE), the energy expended to provide resting metabolic activities needs to be subtracted from gross EE.
Therefore, Net EE = Gross EE - resting EE
Gross EE = 487 kcals
resting EE for a person weighing 178 lbs (80.73 kg) is approximately 80.73 kcal per hour
for 31 minutes the resting EE will be (80.73/60) x 31 = 41.71 kcals
Therefore, Net EE = Gross EE - resting EE
= 487 - 41.71 = 445.3 kcals
