What is Michelle's estimated daily calorie expenditure?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

REE = (10 × 82.6) + (6.25 × 165) - (5 × 56) - 161
REE = 832 + 1031.25 - 280 -161
REE = 1422.25
Moderate activity level = 1.55
Estimated daily calorie expenditure = REE x activity level
Estimated daily calorie expenditure = 1422.25 x 1.55
Estimated daily calorie expenditure = 2203.89 ≈ 2195 calories
Therefore, Michelle's estimated daily calorie expenditure is 2195.
