Question

You are a sophomore in college and are calculating your EER. Your activity level has decreased significantly since your freshman year. You would expect your current EER to be _____ when compared to your freshman year.

Answer 1

Answer:

Lower

Explanation:

The current EER is expected to be lower as compared to the freshman year because the EER is simply known as the Estimated Energy Requirement and shows the average intake of dietary energy necessary for the body to maintain a balance of energy with respect to the individual's physical activity levels, height, weight, and other factors. Because the activity level of the individual in the example has reduced, it is expected that the EER will be lower, since it is a function of your physical activity level.
