Question

1. Using the BROCA formula, calculate the WEIGHT RANGE for the following individuals (1 point each):

Shante (female) is 5’6

Denard (male) is 5’9

Chris (male) is 6’3

Janay (female) is 6’3

2. Using the BMR formula and the Harris Benedict Formula calculate the caloric needs (BMR) for the following individuals (2 points each):

Kiera (female), 5’5, 140 lbs, 23 years old

Richard (male), 6’1, 250 lbs, 45 years old, sedentary

Ashley (female), 5’4, 115 lbs, 20 years old, extra active

Answer 1

WEIGHT RANGE

BROCA formula is for determining optimal height and weight, that is height in cm - 100 = optimal weight in kg

1. Shante [ female ]

height = 5'6

height in cm = 167.64

BROCA index normal weight = 167.64 - 100

= 67.64 kg

BROCA index ideal body weight = height in cm - 100 + 15 %

= 167.64 -100 + 15%

=   77.8 kg

2. Denard [ male ]

height = 5'9

height in cm = 175.26

BROCA index normal weight = 175.26 - 100

   = 75.26 kg

BROCA index ideal body weight = height in cm - 100 + 10 %

= 175.26 -100 + 10%

= 82.7 kg

3. Chris [ male ]

height = 6'3

height in cm = 190.5 cm

   BROCA index normal weight = 190.5 - 100

   = 90.5 kg

BROCA index ideal body weight = height in cm - 100 + 10 %

= 190.5 -100 + 10%

= 99.5 kg

4. Janay [ female ]

height = 6'3

height in cm = 190.5

  BROCA index normal weight = 190.5 - 100

   = 90.5 kg

  BROCA index ideal body weight = height in cm - 100 + 15%

= 190.5 -100 + 15%

= 104 kg

BMR

BMR is known as the basic metabolic rate that is the number or amound of calorie required to keep the body functioning.

BMR for men = 10*weight[kg] +6.25*height [cm]- 5* age [years]+/-5

BMR for women = 10*weight[kg] +6.25*height [cm]- 5* age [years]+/-161

1. Kiera [ female ]

height = 5'5

height in cm = 165 cm

weight = 140 lbs

weght in kg = 63.5 kg

age = 23 years

BMR = 10*63.5+6.25*165- 5*23-161

= 1500 calory

2. Richard [male ]

height = 6'1

height in cm = 185.4

weight = 250 lbs

weight in kg = 113.4 kg

age = 45 years

BMR = 10*113.4+6.25*185.4-5*45-5

= 2062 kcl

3. Ashley [ female ]

height = 5'4

height in cm = 162.5 cm

weight = 115 lbs

weight in kg = 52.2 kg

age = 20 years

BMR = 10*52.2+6.25*162.5- 5*20+161

= 1578 kcl
