Given that EER for women = [354 - (6.91 ´ age)] + PA ´ [(9.36 ´ wt) + (726 ´ 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.

Question

Given that EER for women = [354 - (6.91 ´ age)] + PA ´ [(9.36 ´ wt) + (726 ´ 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, we need to convert Anne's height and weight into metric units:
- Height: 5 feet 4 inches = 64 inches = 1.63 meters
- Weight: 130 pounds = 59 kilograms

Next, we can plug these values into the EER equation:
EER for women = [354 - (6.91 x age)] + PA x [(9.36 x wt) + (726 x ht)]
EER = [354 - (6.91 x 27)] + 1.27 x [(9.36 x 59) + (726 x 1.63)]
EER = [354 - 186.57] + 1.27 x [553.44 + 1182.38]
EER = 167.43 + 1.27 x 1735.82
EER = 2207.1

Therefore, Anne's estimated energy requirement (EER) is 2207.1 calories per day. The closest answer choice is B: 2300-2400.
