Question

select the correct answer. sophie has a bmr of 1,500 calories. what is her tee if she exercises moderately? a. 2,587.5 calories b. 1,800 calories c. 2,062.5 calories d. 2,325 calories e. 2,850 calories

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the multiplier for moderate - exercise

For moderate exercise, the multiplier for Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) based on Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is 1.71.

Step2: Calculate TEE

TEE = BMR×1.71. Given BMR = 1500 calories, so TEE = 1500×1.71 = 2565 calories. But if we assume a more common multiplier range, for moderate - activity, a multiplier of 1.725 is also used. Then TEE=1500×1.725 = 2587.5 calories.

Answer:

A. 2,587.5 calories
