How do you calculate basal metabolic rate for a female?

0.9 (Kcal) X body weight (kg) X 24 (hours)

How do you calculate Basal Metabolic rate for a male?

1 (kcal) X body weight (kg) X 24 (hours)

Of the following, the person who would be expected to have the highest energy needs per unit of body weight would be a

32-year-old pregnant woman.

A fever can increase basal metabolic rate by approximately

7.0% for each 1° F.

The sum of body processes involved in converting food into energy is called

Metabolism

A person with an underactive thyroid would have

a decreased energy need.

a food item that has a high energy value per unit of weight is

bacon

The amount of energy required by the body for maintenance of life when a person is at complete digestive, physical, and emotional rest is referred to as

basal energy expenditure.

Energy density means the

concentration of energy in a given amount of food.

Energy stores in the body include

glycogen.

For the elderly, food choices should reflect a decline in caloric density and a greater emphasis on

increased nutrient density.

In clinical practice, the most accurate way to measure basal or resting energy expenditure is to use

indirect calorimetry.

The increase in metabolic rate after a meal is called

the thermic effect of food.

Total energy requirement involves a contribution from resting metabolic rate, physical activity, and

thermic effect of food.

When energy expenditure exceeds energy intake, the result is

weight loss.
