How do the provided energy needs from Cronometer compare with the calories your patient consumed, on average, in Table 1? Is he/she in energy balance, positive energy balance, or negative energy balance based on the Mifflin-St Jeor estimate? Include the numeric values in your answer. what more info do you need?

Answer 1

Answer

Mifflin St. Jeor derived a formula to find the resting metabolic rate. RMR is the amount of calories that are burned while in complete rest. the formula to find out theRMR is

Formula

For Men : 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x Age + 5

For Women : 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) – 5 x Age – 161

I need more information about average weight and height of the patients to find out the calories
