Calculate TEE using DRI Formula Final
Answers
Use the appropriate formula for your gender. Write out the formula, and then solve the
formula. Show every step of your work. Place your answer in the column to the right.

TEE for women = 354 - 6.91 x age (y) + PA x (9.36 x weight (kg) + 726 x height (m))
= 394 (6.91 x 19) + 1.12 x ((9.36 x 70.45) + (726 x 1.78)) 2447
= 394 131.29 + 1.12 x (659 + 1292) kcal/day for
= 394 131.29 + 1.12 x (1951) DRI formula
= 394 131.29 + 2185
= 2447 kcal/day

Calculate your TEE using Factorial Estimation Method Answers
Step 1. Calculate Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) using average of the four formulas AVERAGE:
discussed in class: 1. Easy to Use, 2. Harris-Benedict equation, 3. Mifflin-St Jeor equation, 1548 kcal
and, 4. WHO equation.
1. Write out the appropriate formula for your gender. Solve the calculation showing
every step of your work. Place the answer for each equation in the designated box.
2. Finally, average the results and enter it into the answer column to the right.

a) Easy to use formula Answer: 1521 kcal

Easy to use formula= (weight (kg) x 0.9)) x 24

= (70.45 x 0.9) x 24
= 63 x 24
= 1521

b) Harris-Benedict Equation
Answer: 1580 kcal
Harris- Benedict Equation= 655.1 + 9.6 W (kg) + 1.9 H (cm) 4.7 A
(y)
= 655.1 + 9.6 (70.45) + 1.9 (177.8) 4.7 (19)
= 655 + 676 + 338 89
2
= 1580

c) Mifflin-St Jeor Equation Answer: 1560 kcal

Mifflin- St Jeor Equation= 10W + 6.25H 5A 161

= 10 (70.45) + 6.25 (177.8) 5 (19) 161
= 704.5 + 1111 95 161
= 1560

d) WHO Equation Answer: 1530 kcal

WHO Equation= 14.7 W (kg) + 496

= 14.7 (70.45) + 496
= 1036 + 496
= 1530

Step 2. Determine the energy expended for your estimated Physical Activity Levels
(PAL)
Indicate your PAL in the box to the right. Below, explain why you selected
that value.

PAL = 1.6
PAL= TEE/REE
= 2447 / 1548
= 1.6

Step 3. Calculate your TEE using the Mifflin St Jeor Equation

TEE= PAL x REE 2496

= 1.6 x 1560 kcal/day
= 2496

Instructions: Type your answers after each question below. Please keep the current line spacing format
(1.5 lines) when typing the answers for all of the questions.

Energy Needs and Diet Analysis: Use the data collected from Part 3 Sections A, B.1-B.3 and C to
answer the questions below.

1. Using the MSJ as a reference standard, calculate the actual difference and % of the MSJ in your
REE using the different equations and compare to the measured value obtained with the Body
Gem. Answer the questions after you complete the chart. (2 pts)

In 3-4 paragraphs, discuss whether the formula based methods of determining resting energy
expenditure used above provide similar (within 10%) estimates to each other. When would it be
appropriate to use each of the formulas to get an accurate REE? Provide evidence to support
your answer. Note: consider the strengths and limitations of each equation in terms of
variables used in each equation, how they were developed and populations they are most
appropriate for.
(10 pts)

Answer:
The formula based methods of determining resting energy expenditure used above

provides similar estimates to each other. They are within 10% of each other because the

REE for each formula end up all being in proximity to each other. They are all pretty

accurate formulas to determine someones REE, but the most accurate formula is the

9
Mifflin St. Jeor Equation. The times it would be appropriate to use each equation is when

you do not have the variables needed (such as age, weight, or height) for a certain

equation. Therefore, you would use a different equation if you couldnt use one due to not

having enough information. This is why the Mifflin St. Jeor Equation would be the best

one to use to find out someones REE; it incorporates age, weight, and height in the

equation.

That being said, it would be most appropriate to use the easy to use and the

WHO formula when you only have weight. You would use the Harris Benedict equation

and the Mifflin St. Joer equation when you have all age weight and height. However as

mentioned above, the Mifflin St. Joer equation is scientifically proven to be the most

accurate equation. This equation also uses cm for height measurements, which could be

more accurate than using meters as a unit of measurement. The strengths and limitations

of each equation are based on which variables are incorporated in the equation.

The Harris-Benedict equations have been found to slightly overestimate the actual

energy expenditure measurements done. Another factor that impacts the results is that

each person is different in comparing the results to their measured REE to the calculate

amount. These equations were developed in association with the measurements using

indirect calorimetry. The best equations developed were the ones that included gender,

height, weight, and age. The populations that these equations are most appropriate for are

for people that are overweight or obese. However, these equations are also used for people

with a normal BMI.

2. Compare your recorded Calcium intake value from the Food Frequency Questionnaire to the
Calcium value reported from your Dietary Analysis Software or Mysupertracker. What are the
advantages and disadvantages of using a Food Frequency Questionnaire to evaluate
nutrient intakes? What scenarios are they best used for? (10 pts)

Answer:
My calcium intake from the Food Frequency Questionnaire came out to be about

4250 mg. However, my calcium value that was reported from my supertracker came out to

be 870 mg in one day. This means if I consumed 870mg every single day, then my total

calcium intake for one week would be 6090mg. This shows that I consume more calcium

than I think! The average calcium intake per day is 1,000 mg, which means that the

average calcium intake per week is 7,000 mg.

The advantages of using a Food Frequency Questionnaire is that it gives you a good

estimate of how much calcium a day you think you consume based on the foods that you

ate. However, it is not a precise approximation, considering when we fill out a

questionnaire, we are guessing what foods and the amount of food we are eating every 7

days. However, if we use data from information that is obtained day by day, we could

come up with a more accurate answer. We will get a more accurate result in our nutrient

intakes if we record the foods we eat every day for 7 days and then calculating each

individual nutrient intake. Food Frequency Questionnaires are best used for a large

population with a desire for the researcher to obtain quick results.

11
3. In 3-4 paragraphs, compare the total energy (kcal) and macronutrient intake (in grams) (provide
the values) from the Exchange System and the Computer Dietary Analysis Software. Discuss
the strengths and weaknesses for each method for assessing macronutrient and total energy
(kcal) intake. Finally, give examples of the scenarios in which a dietitian would use each
method. (10 pts)

Answer:
The total macronutrient intake (g) from the Exchange System came out to be 232g

in carbohydrates, 85g in protein, and 29g in fat. The total energy intake using the

Exchange System was 1529 kcal. When using the Computer Dietary Analysis Software,

also called mysupertracker, the amount of macronutrients and energy consumed ended up

being quite similar. Even though the numbers were off by some, they did not vary too

drastically. When using mysupertracker, my total macronutrient intake was 219g in

carbohydrates, 61g in protein, and 37g in fat. My total energy intake when using

mysupertracker resulted in being 1445 kcal.

There are several strengths and weaknesses for each method for assessing

macronutrient and total energy intake. When using the Exchange System, you have to

make sure you are doing the correct number of exchanges in order to determine what your

macronutrient and energy intake is. Sometimes it is hard using this method when you are

not completely sure how many servings you consumed. Also, the Exchange System is

estimating your calories based on the number of exchanges you have. This is not always

the best method to get an accurate result, but it definitely gives you a good approximation.

Mysupertracker can also have strengths as well as weaknesses in its method.

Mysupertracker allows you to put in the exact food you ate as well as the amount you

12
consumed in order to calculate total macronutrient and energy intake. This is good

because it gives you a more accurate answer. However, a computer dietary analysis

software does not have every food on their list and it is also very difficult for the software

to come up with the exact amount of calories you consume. Every food is made differently,

which means every food consists of a different amount of nutrients and kcals. Therefore, it

is hard for the software to give an accurate calculation, considering mysupertracker only

has a limited amount of food you can choose from anyways.

A scenario of when a dietician would use the Exchange System is if he/she was

dealing with a diabetic patient trying to select different foods to eat from each food group,

while aiming to maintain low blood-glucose levels. The dieticians job would be to plan out

their daily meals, which exchanges to include in each meal from each food group, and how

many. An example of a scenario where a dietician would use the Computer Dietary

Analysis Software is if the dietician keeps record of the patients nutrient and energy

consumption by tracking all of the food they ate. This is a more accurate way of

calculating the exact foods someone ate and a good way in developing menu plans for

patients. Overall, both methods work well and can be used in several different scenarios

by dieticians.
