Chapter 3, Problem 10PP

Repeat Programming Project 13 from Chapter 2 but in addition ask the user if he or she is:

a. Sedentary

b. Somewhat active (exercise occasionally)

c. Active (exercise 3–4 days per week)

d. Highly active (exercise every day)

If the user answers “Sedentary,” then increase the calculated BMR by 20

percent. If the user answers “Somewhat active,” then increase the

calculated BMR by 30 percent. If the user answers “Active,” then increase

the calculated BMR by 40 percent. Finally, if the user answers “Highly

active,” then increase the calculated BMR by 50 percent. Output the

number of chocolate bars based on the new BMR value.

13. The Harris–Benedict equation estimates the number of calories your body needs to maintain your weight if you do no exercise. This is called your basal metabolic rate, or BMR.

The formula for the calories needed for a woman to maintain her weight is BMR=655+(4.3×weight in pounds)+(4.7×height in inches)−(4.7×age in years) The formula for the calories needed for a man to maintain his weight is BMR=66+(6.3×weight in pounds)+(12.9×height in inches)−(6.8×age in years) A typical chocolate bar will contain around 230 calories. Write a program that allows the user to input his or her weight in pounds, height in inches, age in years, and the character M for male and F for female. The program should then output the number of chocolate bars that should be consumed to maintain one’s weight for the appropriate sex of the specified weight, height, and age.
