Answer:
The correct option is (A).
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) of 19 or more years older men is:
Here,
AGE = age counted in years
PA = appropriate physical activity factor
WT = weight in kilograms
HT = height in meters
The physical activity factor for men and women is:
Activity Level PA (men) PA (Women)
Sedentary 1.00 1.00
Low 1.11 1.12
Active 1.25 1.27
Very Active 1.48 1.45
Given:
AGE = 22 year-old male college student
PA = low = 1.11
WT = 180 pounds = 81.6466 kg
HT = 5'10" = 1.778 m
Compute the value of EER as follows:
Thus, the EER for a 22-year-old male college student is approximately 2962 kcal.
The correct option is (A).
