Beyond the sedentary category, the PAL category is determined according to the energy expended by a person walking a set pace of 3 to 4 mph.Low-active, active, and highly active PALs are equivalent to walking 2, 7, and 17 miles per day, respectively, at 3 to 4 mph.Metabolic equivalents (METs) are another means by which to determine energy expenditure during physical activity, but they are not used in the EER estimation.Determination of physical activity energy expenditure using METs does consider the type, or intensity, of physical activity and total time spent doing physical activity.
