Question

Terry is a 22-year-old woman who weighs 132 pounds. using the simple "rule of thumb" method, what is her estimated 24-hour basal energy needs

Answer 1

To calculate the basal energy that's needed, by using the rule-of-thumb guideline, you have to multiply the weight (in kilograms) by 0,9(kcal per kg per hour) for women and 1 (kcal per kg per hour) for men  and by the number of hours.
 
132 pounds=60kg

 60kg x 0,9 kcal x 24 hrs=1134 kcal
