The energy Lawrence expends for basal metabolism per day is 2,160 kilocalories per day.
Basal metabolic rate is defined as the amount of energy that is used when an individual is at rest.
This energy is used for life sustaining functions such as:
To calculate the Basal Metabolic Rate for Mr Lawrence,
Lawrence weight = 198 pounds
60
(convert pounds to kilogramme)
1 pound = 0.453592kg
198 pounds = x
xkg = 0.453592 × 198
= 89.8 kg
But BMR for average men = 1 kilocalorie per kilogram per hour.
That is, 1 kilocalories = 1 kg per hour
x kilocalories = 89.8 per day
Therefore for a day = 89.8 × 24 ( 24 hours = 1 day)
= 2155.469184
approximately. = 2,160kilocalories per day
