Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The simplified Harris-Benedict equation for females is:BMR = 655 + (9.6 × body weight in kg) + (1.8 × body height in cm) - (4.7 × age in years)BMR = 655 + (9.6 × 81.818) + (1.8 × 170.18) - (4.7 × 42)BMR = 655 + 785.4288 + 306.324 - 197.4BMR = 1549.3528 kcalEnergy needs = BMR x activity factorAssuming KL is moderately active, her activity factor is 1.55.Energy needs = 1549.3528 kcal x 1.55Energy needs = 2399.1066 kcalTherefore, the correct answer is A) 1566.4 kcal.
