A young man weighs 150 pounds. A rough estimate of his basal metabolic rate would be ________. Multiple Choice 1469 kcal per day 61 kcal per hour 2500 kcal per day 68 kcal per hour
Added by Bruce E.
Step 1
The Harris-Benedict equation is commonly used to estimate BMR. For men, the formula is: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 x weight in kg) + (4.799 x height in cm) - (5.677 x age in years) Show more…

Basal metabolic rate $(B M R)$ is the number of calories per day a person needs to maintain life. A person's basal metabolic rate $B(w)$ in calories per day can be estimated with the function $B(w)=70 w^{1 / 4},$ where $w$ is the person's weight in kilograms. Use this information to answer Exercises. Estimate the BMR for a person who weighs 90 kilograms. Round to the nearest calorie. (Note: 90 kilograms is approximately 198 pounds.)

Basal metabolic rate $(B M R)$ is the number of calories per day a person needs to maintain life. A person's basal metabolic rate $B(w)$ in calories per day can be estimated with the function $B(w)=70 w^{3 / 4},$ where $w$ is the person's weight in kilograms. Use this information to answer Estimate the BMR for a person who weighs 60 kilograms. Round to the nearest calorie. (Note: 60 kilograms is approximately 132 pounds.)
