Calculation of Desirable Body Weight and Energy Needs

1. CALCULATE THE DBW OF A MALE 5" 8 TALL, MEDIUM BUILT MODERATE
ACTIVITY USING THE TWO METHODS.

ADOR DIONISIO’S METHOD TANNHAUSER’S METHOD

DBW of a Male, 5”8 tall DBW of a Male, 5”8 tall

Height = 5 feet = 110 lbs Height = 5”8 = 67 inch = 172.72 cm
8 inch x 2 = 16 172.72 cm – 100 cm = 72.72 cm
126 lbs 10% of 72.7 cm = 7.272 cm
75.72 – 7.272 = DBW (Kg)
Age (35 years old)2 = 14 lbs
5 65.4 kg = DBW
65.4 kg = 145 lbs
DBW = 126 lbs + 14 lbs

ANS = 140 LBS ANS : DBW = 145 LBS

2. CALCULATE THE DAILY ENERGY REQUIREMENT OF THE CAME SUBJECT

SOLUTION ANSWER

1. Basal Metabolic Rate Male : 68.4 kg

1kcal x 68 x 24
= 1,570.7 calories per day
2. Physical Activity (PA)
Moderate : 750 kcal

3. Specific Dynamic Action (SDA) of BMR + 750 kcal x 10%

food = 1,645.75 kcal/day

4. Daily Energy Requirements 65 kg of a man’s RRE = 21.6 x 70

=1,512 kcal
