CJ's weight is now down to 168 . Calculate his total caloric needs by calculating his BEE and an appropriate energy expenditure factor. Use the Harris-Benedict equation and appropriate factor found in Appendix A or use a formula of your own choosing
BEE = 66 + [13.7 × wt] + [5 × ht] - [6.8 × age]
= 66 + [13.7 × 76.4] + [5 × 177.8] – [6.8 × 58]
= 66 + [1047] + [889] – [394]
= 2029 – 394
= 1635
Using a stress factor of 1.4: 1635 × 1.4 = 2289
