Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the formula for REE for females and plugging in Michelle's information, we get:
REE = (10 × 131) + (6.25 × 68) - (5 × 49) - 161
REE = 1310 + 425 - 245 - 161
REE = 1329
Multiplying this by the sedentary factor (1.2) gives us:
1329 x 1.2 = 1594.8, which rounds down to 1594 or approximately 1270 calories per day for Michelle's resting metabolic rate.
