Computations:

DBW (Tannhauser’s Method):

(height in cm – 100) – (10% (height in cm – 100)

(150 cm – 100) – (10% (50))

50 – 5

DBW: 45 kg

TER: DBW x PAL (Light)

45 x 35

TER: 1575 or 1550 kcal

AMDR: 55 – 20 – 25

CHO: 1550 x .55 = 852.5/4= 213.1 or 210 g

CHON: 1550 x .20 = 310/4 = 77.5 or 80 g

Fat: 1550 x .25 = 387.5/9 = 43.1 or 45 g
