Question

Celine is 33 years old female. 5 feet 2 inches. 210 pounds. Her activity is estimated at lightly active. 2. Estimate 24-hour Thermic Effect of Physical Activity (TEPA) See Estimating Thermic Effect of Physical Activity in Basic Calculations for FSHN 185 for guidelines on the estimation of TEPA and an example of how to make the calculations TEPA: RMR (kcal) X activity factor TEPA (kcal) ΤΕΡΑ: RMR kcal X activity factor = TEPA kcal 3. Estimate Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): TEF accounts for about 10% of a person's total energy intake. We can estimate this by taking 10% of (RMR + TEPA) TEF 0.1 X (RMR + TEPA) TEF kcal 4. Estimate total energy expenditure (TEEneed: RMR (from Q1)TEPA (from Q2)TEF (from Q3) Total (TEE) = kcal

Answer 1

Celine's weight = 210 pound = 210 x 0.453 kg = 95.25 kg

Celine's height = 5 ft 2 inches = 157.5 cm

Celine's age = 33

According to guielines, RMR for women = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) – (5 × age in years) – 161

                          = (10 x 95.25) + (6.25 x 157.5) - (5 x 33) - 161

                          = 952.5 + 984.375 - 165 - 161

                        = 1610.9 kcal

Celine is lightly active. Hence activity factor = 1.5

So TEPA = RMR x activity factor = 1610.9 x 1.5 kcal = 2416.35 kcal

     TEF = 0.1 (RMR + TEPA) = 0.1 (1610.9 + 2416.35) kcal = 402.725 kcal

     TEE = RMR + TEPA + TEF = (1610.9 + 2416.35 + 402.725) kcal = 4429.975 kcal
