Calculate Mrs. Moore's energy and protein requirements

What will be an ideal response?


Energy Requirements:
(9.99 x actual weight ) + (6.25 x height) – (4.92 x age) – 161
(9.99 x 72.7) + (6.25 x 167.64) – (4.92 x 57) – 161
726.3 + 1047.75 – 280.44 – 161
1329 or 1300 kcal
Energy needs = REE x AF* x IF** = 1300 x 1.4 = 1861-1994
* seated work w/requirement to move but little strenuous leisure activity
** no injury factor

Protein Requirements:
72.7 kg x 0.8-1.0 g/kg = 58-73 g of protein
