Question

I need help to develop a Python program for the following problem. How can I use the Harris-Benedict equation that estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain your weight if you do not exercise? Which is called a basal metabolic rate, or BMR.

 

The calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight are: WBMR = 655 + (4.3 × weight in pounds) + (4.7 × height in inches) − (4.7× age in years)

 

The calories needed for a man to maintain his weight are: MBMR = 66 + (6.3 × weight in pounds) + (12.9 × height in inches) − (6.8 × age in years).

Write a program that allows the user to input his or her gender, weight in pounds, height in inches (or feet and inches), and age in years.

The program should then display on its output the number of chocolate bars that should be consumed by the individual to maintain one’s weight. Also output the individual's weight, height, age, gender, and BMR.
