NUT 010V 001 WQ 2025 Estimated Energy Recommendation Calculation Practice

Multiple fill-in-the-blank

Calculate the recommended energy intake below for the following individual: A 19-year old male weighing 70 kg with a moderate activity level and who is losing weight at 500 calories (kcal) per day. You may need the following equations: Type your answers in the blanks using only the numbers (no units, no commas, round to the nearest whole number). (a) What is the daily energy/calorie needs for this individual? BMR The first step is to identify the BMR equation for a male, which is [Fill in the blank], kcal/kg body weight per hour. Next, multiply this by [Fill in the blank], kg x [Fill in the blank], hours/day to calculate his BMR of [Fill in the blank], kcal/day (round to the nearest whole number, no commas). Activity Multiply his BMR by the activity coefficient for moderate activity, which is [Fill in the blank], % to calculate his activity level of [Fill in the blank], kcal/day (round to the nearest whole number, no commas). Gain or Loss Type either "subtract" or "add" into the blank: [Fill in the blank], 500 kcals per day. TEF Use [Fill in the blank], % to calculate his TEF of [Fill in the blank], kcal/day (round to the nearest whole number, no commas). Total Energy Intake Calculate his total energy intake to be [Fill in the blank], kcal/day (round to the nearest whole number, no commas). How much weight would he lose in 4 weeks (in theory)? [Fill in the blank], lbs (round to the nearest tenths place, i.e. 0.1) What is his RDA for protein (g/day)? First, identify the RDA for protein, which is [Fill in the blank], g/kg per day. Use the RDA to determine his requirement in protein is [Fill in the blank], g/day (round to the nearest whole number).

Step-by-Step Analysis

The task presents a calculation problem for daily energy needs and protein requirements, with a set of fill-in blanks and a list of possible numeric options. I’ll walk through each part and analyze the plausible values. BMR section: - The male BMR equation described here uses BMR = kcal per kg per hour × body weight(kg) × hours per day. For many common teaching formulas, the standard value is 1 kcal/kg/hour for males. Given weight 70 kg and 24 hours in a day, this yields BMR = 1 × 70 × 24 = 1680 kcal/day. - Therefore, any option that matches 1680 (or 1680.0) is consistent with the BMR calculation as described. Options like 1680, 1680.0 are correct matches for the BMR value; other numbers such as 70, 1, 24, or any non-1680 figure do not fit this BMR step. Activity coefficient step: - The prompt asks to multiply BMR by the activity coefficient for moderate activity. Standard activity multipliers for moderate activity are around 1.55 (sometimes 1.5–1.6 in textbook problems). If we take 1680 × 1.55, we get 2604 kcal/day as the estimated energy expenditure including activity. The answer choices listed do not include 2604, so the exact matched value for the activity-adjusted energy is not present in the provided options. That implies the set of options given does not align with the typical moderate-activity multiplier, or a slightly different coefficient is being......Login to view full explanation
