Question

Approximate the BMR for a 180-lb, sedentary man over a 24-hour period. Formula: 1 calorie per hour for every kilogram (2.2 lbs) of body weight Sedentary: Add 200 calories per day

Answer 1

The BMR for a 180lb sedentary man over a 24-h period would be

1 calorie for every 2.2lbs per hour

for a 24 hour cycl that is 24 calories per 2.2lbs

180 lbs / 2.2 = 81.81818

Then we take this value - 81.81818  and multiply it by the amount of calories in one day - 24

81.818181* 24 = 1963,636 

Because of his sedentary lifestyle, we add additional 200 calories - that is then 2163,636 calories per day.
