Answer #1

Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years )

4.35 x weight in pounds

= 4.35 x 121 lb

= 526.35 pounds

( 4.7 x height in inches )

4.7 x 63 inches

= 296.1

( 4.7 x age in years)

4.7 x 45

= 211.5

= 655 + 526.35 pounds + 296.1 inches - 211.5 yrs

= 1477.45- 211.5

= 1265.95

Calories needed each day Sedentary (little or no exercise): BMR x 1.2

= 1265.95 x 1.2

= 1519.14
