Basal Metabolic Rate. An individual’s basal metabolic rate is the minimum number of calories required to sustain life when the individual is at rest. It can be thought of as the number of calories burned by an individual who sleeps all day. The Harris–Benedict formula for basal metabolic rate for a man is
Caloric Requirement. The number of calories K required each day by a moderately active female who wants to maintain her weight is estimated by the formula
where w is weight, in pounds, h is height, in inches, and a is age, in years.
Data: Shapefit
a. Serena is a moderately active 25-year-old woman who weighs 150 lb and is 5 ft 8 in. tall. Find the number of calories she requires each day in order to maintain her weight.
