Week+7+Assignment

This week we are going to figure a friend or family members resting energy expenditure and estimated energy expenditure, as well as figure out how many calories they would eat if they had a weight loss goal. Go through the questions and answer them based on your friend or family members data.

Resting Energy Expenditure: The amount of calories your body burns while at rest.

Use this table to figure out how many calories you burn while at rest.

**Note:** Body weight is in kilograms. To figure out your weight in kilograms divide your weight in pounds by 2.2.


 * = **Age** ||= **REE Males** ||= **REE Females** ||
 * 0-3 || (60.9 x wt.) - 54 || (61.0 x wt.) - 51 ||
 * 3-10 || (22.7 x wt.) + 495 || (22.5 x wt.) + 499 ||
 * 10-18 || (17.5 x wt.) + 651 || (12.2 x wt.) + 746 ||
 * 18-30 || (15.3 x wt.) + 679 || (14.7 x wt.) + 496 ||
 * 30-60 || (11.6 x wt.) + 879 || (8.7 x wt.) + 829 ||
 * >60 || (13.5 x wt.) + 487 || (10.5 x wt.) + 596 ||

 * 1.6 || 1.5 || Light || Occasional unplanned activity ||
