Given that EER for women = [354 - (6.91  x  age)] + PA  x ´ [(9.36  x ´ wt) + (726  x  ht)], estimate the energy requirements for Anne, an active 27 year old (PA = 1.27) who is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds.

First, convert height and weight to metric units: 5 feet 4 inches = 64 inches = 162.56 cm (1 inch = 2.54 cm), 130 pounds = 59.09 kg (1 pound = 0.453592 kg). Then, calculate EER using the given formula: EER = [354 - (6.91 x 27)] + 1.27 x [(9.36 x 59.09) + (726 x 1.6256)] = [354 - 186.57] + 1.27 x [553.0824 + 1181.336] = 167.43 + 1.27 x 1734.4184 ≈ 167.43 + 2202.711 ≈ 2370.14. Therefore, the estimated energy requirement for Anne is around 2300-2400 calories per day.
