Your Answer:
Calculate the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) for a female who is
23 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall, and 130 pounds with a sedentary
lifestyle. Use BMR and an activity factor to find the EER.

EER = 354 - (6.91 X AGE) + PA X (9.36 x WT + 726 x HT)
PA = 1.2
Age = 23 yrs
Height (HT) = 5ft 4' = (5x12) = 60' + 4' = 64' x 1/39.37 = 1.63m
Weight (WT)= 130lbs = 130 x 1/2.2 = 59kg
Lifestyle = Sedentary = 1.00
EER = 354 - (6.91 x 23) + 1.2 x (9.36 x 59 + 726 x 1.63)
=354 - 158.93 + 1.2 (552.24 + 1183.38)
= 195.07 + 2082.744
EER = 2277.8
BMR = 655 + (4.35 x WT LBS) + (4.7 x HT' ) - (4.7 x AGE)
BMR = 655 + (4.35 x 130) + ( 4.7 x 64) - (4.7 x 23)
= 655 + 565.5 + 300.8 - 108.1
BMR = 1413.2
BMR x PA Estimates = 1413.2 x 1.2 = 1695.84 = ~ 1696 Calories daily

BMR Calculations:
Male BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height
in inches) - (6.8 x age)
Female BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x
height in inches) - (4.7 x age)
Physical Activity (PA) Estimates
1.2 = little to no exercise
1.375 = light exercise 1-3 days per week
1.55 = moderate exercise 3-5 days per week
1.725 = hard exercise 6-7 days per week
1.9 = hard daily exercise/job
Female BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x
height in inches) - (4.7 x age)
BMR = 655 + (4.35 x 130) + (4.7 x 64) – (4.7 x 23)
Complete calculations in parenthesis first
BMR = 655 + (565.5) + (300.8) – (108.1)
BMR = 1413.2
EER = BMR x activity factor
EER= 1413.2 x 1.2= 1695.84
EER= 1696 calories
