Sean has a basal EE of 1930 kCal and wants to lose 2 pounds per week; however, he does not want to decrease his daily caloric intake (TDEI) of 2600 kCal. What would Sean’s daily recommended net exercise energy expenditure be in order for him to lose 2 pounds per week without decreasing his TDEI?

Answer:

B. 1024 kCal

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of one pound is 3500 calories. So Sean has to exercise to lose 2 pounds that amounts to more than 7,000 calories of higher energy spending. In order to lower body weight by 2 lbs, more than 1000 calories should be reduced daily.
