Based on his body weight and height, the basal metabolic rate of Rick can be calculated using the Harris-Benedict Equation.

<h3>What is basal metabolic rate or BMR?</h3>

Basal metabolic rate is the energy expenditure by the body when the body is at rest or not active such as when sleeping.

Basal metabolic rate is also known as resting metabolic rate.

The basal metabolic rate of an individual depends on the body size and weight, gender and age of the individual.

The Harris-Benedict Equation is often used to estimate basal metabolic rate.

  • For Men: BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 x weight in kg) + (4.799 x height in cm) - (5.677 x age in years)
  • For Women: BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.098 x height in cm) - (4.330 x age in years)

Therefore, the basal metabolic rate of Rick can be calculated using the Harris-Benedict Equation.
