Question

Using the simplified approach that BMR accounts for 60% of TEE, estimate TEE for someone whose BMR is 1,650 kcal/day and then calculate TEF at 10% of that TEE and activity energy as the remainder.

Accepted Answer

TEE ≈ 2,750 kcal; TEF ≈ 275 kcal; activity ≈ 825 kcal

Answer

TEE ≈ 3,300 kcal; TEF ≈ 330 kcal; activity ≈ 1,320 kcal (based on assuming BMR is 50% of TEE)

Answer

TEE ≈ 2,200 kcal; TEF ≈ 220 kcal; activity ≈ 330 kcal (using 75% BMR contribution incorrectly)

Answer

TEE ≈ 1,650 kcal; TEF ≈ 165 kcal; activity ≈ −165 kcal which is impossible.
