Estimate your energy requirement based on your current age, weight, height, and activity level.
Physical Activity (PA) Factors for EER Equations
| Men | Women | Physical Activity | |
| Sedentary | 1.0 | 1.0 | Typical daily living activities |
| Low active | 1.11 | 1.12 | plus 30–60 min moderate activity |
| Active | 1.25 | 1.27 | plus $ 60 min moderate activity |
| Very active | 1.48 | 1.45 | plus $ 60 min moderate activity and 60 min vigorous or 120 min moderate activity |
NOTE: Moderate activity is equivalent to walking at 3 to 4½ mph.

A person is performing an exercise routine that would be considered vigorous for them. They are doing 5-minute runs, during an interval style workout. Calculate their RER and energy expenditure for an individual with a VCO2 of 3.8 L/min and a VO2 of 4.2 L/min and a total exercise duration of 25-minutes
A student sp ends 6 h a day sleeping, 13 h sitting (attending classes, eating, playing video games, etc.), 0.5 h washing and dressing, 2.75h walking (3 mph), 1 h standing, 0.25 h playing basketball, and 0.5 h cycling (10 mph). What are the student's averaged activity activity level and metab olic rate? Assume the BMR of this 55 kg, 20-yr-old female student is 1300 kcal/day. For a similar example check out the Scottish coal miner (Table 6.31) in the reading and lecture slides.
