Calculate the total energy intake for a 20-year old male weighing 72 kg with a light activity level and who is gaining 1 pound a week. Type in the correct answer from the options given in parentheses.
BMR The first step is to identify the BMR equation for a male, which is 1 kcal/kg body weight per hour. Next, multiply this number by 72 kg and 24 hours/d to calculate this BMR of 1728 kcal/d. Activity Multiply his BMR by the activity coefficient for light activity to calculate his activity level of 864 kcal/d. Gain Since he is gaining 1 lb per week, the next step is to identify the amount of calories in 1 pound of body fat, which is 3500 kcal. Then, divide this number by the number of days in 1 week to find that he is overeating 500 kcal/d. TEF Add up his BMR, activity, and gain, and multiply this total by 5% to calculate his TEF of 155 kcal/d. Total Energy Intake Add up his BMR, activity, gain, and TEF to find his total energy requirement of 3247 kcal/d.
Identify the approximate value for each component of the energy requirement for an adult:
BMR: 1000-2000 kcal/d Activity: equal to or less than the value of the BMR growth: this is not a component of an adult's energy requirement TEF: 50-200 kcal/d

Determine the calorie content of 2 tablespoons of hummus. Fat 3 g Carbohydrate 4 g Protein 2 g Let's walk through how to do this calculation in 3 steps. You may want to have a calculator handy. You will type in the correct answer from the options given in parentheses.
Step 1: The first step is to identify the physiological fuel values. For fat, the physiological fuel value is 9 kcal/g. For carbohydrate, the physiological fuel value is 4 kcal/g For protein, the physiological fuel value is 4 kcal/g Step 2: You will now need to multiply the number of grams of fat, carbohydrate, and protein by each macronutrient's respective physiological fuel value you identified in step 1. From this, we get 27 kcal of fat. From this, we will get 16 kcal of carbohydrate. From this, we get 8 kcal of protein. Step 3: Finally, you will add up the resulting products to get the total available energy, which is 51 kcal.
