Question
The food Calorie is actually a kilocalorie, that is, $1000 \mathrm{cal}$. For a $70-\mathrm{kg}$ male between the ages of 18 and 30 the basal metabolic rate is 1750 Calories per day. Express this in $\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{d}$.
Step 1
Since 1 food Calorie is equal to 1000 calories, we multiply the given BMR by 1000. \[BMR = 1750 \, \text{Calories/day} = 1750 \times 1000 \, \text{calories/day} = 1750000 \, \text{calories/day}\] Show more…
