BASAL METABOLISM, TOTAL ENERGY EXPENDITURE AND MACRONUTRIENTS

The minimal amount of energy necessary to maintain respiration,circulation, and other vital body functions while fasting and at totalrest.

BASAL METABOLISM: (10 x Kg) + (6,25 x cm) – (5 x Years) – 161

BM = (10 x 71) + (6,25 x 169) – (5 x 17) – 161

BM = 710 + 1056,25 + 85 – 161

BM = 15020,25

Energy expenditure is mainly a sum of internal heat produced and external work. The internal heat produced is, in turn, mainly a sum of basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the thermic effect of food. External work may be estimated by measuring the physical activity level (PAL)

TOTAL ENERGY EXPENDITURE (Gasto Energético)

BM (15020,25) x Sedent (1,2)

                            x Light (1,375)

                            x Moderate (1,55)

                            x Very active (1,725)

                            x Hiperactive (1,9)

BM x 1,375 = 2090,34375

Any of the nutritional components of the diet that arerequired in relatively large amounts: protein, carbohydrate, fat, and themacrominerals.
