4. Estimating Energy Output
A. The formula to calculate BMI is BMI=kg/m2
To calculate someone’s BMI, you will take their weight in kilograms and then divide
it by their height squared.
My BMI: 77kg/1.6m2 = 30.07
B. My BMI would be considered unfavorable according to the textbook. A normal
weight BMI is considered to be from 104 to 140lbs according to the standards.
C. The formula to calculate Estimate Energy Requirements is:

EER= [354-(6.91*age)] + PA*[(9.36*weight) + (726*height)]
My EER: [354-(6.91*21)] + 1.27*[(9.36*77) + (726*1.6)] = 2,603kcal per day
D. EER= [354-(6.91*31)] + 1.12*[(9.36*81.82) + (726*1.6)] = 2,200kcal per day
E. EER= [354-(6.91*46)] + 1*[(9.36*88.64) + (726*1.6)] = 2,028kcal per day
F. I think one of the dietary practices that was responsible for my BMI was the lack of
fruits and vegetables in my diet. I also think that I consume too many empty calories
that give me no nutritional value. Some things I could add to my dietary practices
would be more fruits and vegetables throughout the day. I also think I should
consume less foods that contain a high amount of fat and carbohydrates.
G. According to my estimate energy requirement, I am supposed to be consuming about
2,603kcals per day. I would say that I am already doing a pretty good job of keeping
my calorie intake number close to that. I think something that I can work on is
making sure my calorie intake stays about the same every day. The estimate energy
requirement changes a lot as you get older and gain more weight. An increase in age
and weight will cause your estimate energy requirement to lower. In addition, a
decrease in activity level will also cause your estimate energy requirement to lower.
