KL is 42 years of age and comes to your office for nutritional counseling.Your nutritional assessment data is as follows:
HT: 5'7"         WT: 180#         1.7018 m/170.18 cm, 81.818 kg
-Calculate the TEE for KL assuming KL is female and active

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate TEE for an active female, we use the following formula:
TEE = RMR x PA
where RMR is the resting metabolic rate and PA is the physical activity factor.

First, let's calculate RMR using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation:
RMR = (10 x 81.818) + (6.25 x 170.18) - (5 x 42) - 161
RMR = 1,415.14 kcal

Next, let's assume that KL is moderately active, with a PA factor of 1.55:
TEE = 1,415.14 x 1.55
TEE = 2,605.39 kcal

Therefore, the closest option is D) 2605.4 kcal.
