Question

select the correct answer. jack has a total energy output (or expenditure) of 2,000 calories. what is his bmr? a. 1,000 - 1,400 b. 1,000 - 1,500 c. 1,200 - 1,400 d. 1,400 - 1,600 e. 1,400 - 1,700

Explanation:

Step1: Recall BMR - total energy output relationship

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the amount of energy expended while at rest, and typically accounts for about 60 - 70% of total energy expenditure.

Step2: Calculate the lower - bound of BMR

Lower - bound = 2000×0.6 = 1200 calories.

Step3: Calculate the upper - bound of BMR

Upper - bound = 2000×0.7 = 1400 calories.

Answer:

C. 1,200 - 1,400
