The nurse is teaching a nutrition class on how to estimate the total number of calories expended by a person per day according to the rule-of-thumb formula
What is the estimated total calorie expenditure for a 160-pound man who does little activity? A) 1920 B) 2112 C) 2288 D) 3220
B
Feedback:
First, calculate the BMR: For men, multiply the weight by 11 (160 × 11 = 1760); next, calculate the estimated total calories based on the activity level (sedentary activity level is indicated at 20%) (1760 × 0.20 = 352). Add the BMR calories and PA calories to determine the total calories for the day: 1760 + 352 = 2112 calories.

Would you like me to make an appointment with a psychologist for you?" b. "Maybe you've always wanted to be an artist and now you can, so enjoy the feelingâ€"and the room!" c. "You're probably trying to put a positive spin on the situation to keep feelings of sadness at bay." d. "Very normal; you've launched your family and now you can devote attention to your own life and preferencesâ€"such as crafts." e. "Would you like to talk about how you feel?"
