Question

Lawrence meets with a dietitian to develop a weight-loss plan. The dietitian says she will calculate his estimated calorie needs using the Estimated Energy Requirement Calculation for Men 19 years and older. If Lawrence is 54 years old, weighs 198 pounds, is 5’7" (67 inches) tall and has a sedentary activity level, what is his estimated energy requirement?

a. 1500 kilocalories per day
b. 2000 kilocalories per day
c. 2500 kilocalories per day
d. 3000 kilocalories per day

Answer 1

A) 1500 kilocalories per day because he doesn’t exercise at all he doesn’t need much food as an athlete would require so the first one be the most healthy choice for his type of lifestyle. But also it could be the second one so it’s up to you but for sure it’s either the first or second one but I gave my reasoning so if you have any more questions I’m glad to help! I hope this helped
