Calculate Mr. Kim's energy and protein requirements for weight maintenance and for weight loss
What will be an ideal response?
Mifflin-St. Jeor (due to obesity):
REE = 10 x Wt (kg) + 6.25 x Ht (cm) - 5 x A (yrs) + 5
REE = 10 x 93.18 kg + 6.25 x 172.72 cm - 5 x 38 yrs + 5
REE = 1826.3 ≈ 1800 kcal/day
TEE = 1826.3 x 1.3 (PA) = 2374.2 ≈ 2400 kcal/day or 2300-2500 kcal/day
For weight loss, a 500 kcal/day reduction is needed to obtain a 1 lb/week loss in body weight: 1800-2000 kcal/day
Protein requirements:
0.8-1.0 g/kg (IBW) x 70 kg: = 56-70 g/day
