Michelle is a 56-year-old moderately active female who weighs 182 pounds (82.6 kg) and is 5'5" (165 cm) tall. Use these benchmarks to answer the questions. Females: REE = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) − (5 × age) − 161
Sedentary = 1.2
Moderate activity = 1.55
Very active = 1.725

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the given formula for females, we can calculate Michelle's resting energy expenditure:

REE = (10 x 82.6) + (6.25 x 165) - (5 x 56) - 161 
REE = 826 + 1031.25 - 280 - 161 
REE = 1416

Therefore, Michelle's resting energy expenditure is 1416 calories per day.
