If John is in perfect energy balance, ingests 2500 kcal/day, and expends 350 kcal/day with physical activity; what is his metabolic rate? [Note: Yes, you can calculate this from the information given.] If John is in perfect energy balance, ingests 2500 kcal/day, and expends 350 kcal/day with physical activity; what is his metabolic rate? [Note: Yes, you can calculate this from the information given.]

The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate that is required of minimum energy to be able to meet vital signs and the development of life, for this a calculation is needed, this calculation presents two variables, height, age, sex and the weight ... making the TMB different in every living being.

TMB-man = (10x weight in KG) + (6.25X height in cm) - (5 x age in years) + 5.

We only explain the one of the man since juan consider that it is of masculine gender.

Explanation:

The variables that we see in the TMB equation are fundamental also to understand that babies do not have the same energy demand when it comes to meeting their vital signs as an elderly or adult, that a woman does not have the same energy expenditure as the Neither man since it processes hormonal situations much more catalytic of energy such as menstruation, people with rickets or obesity will have different energy demands, and also lastly, people with higher heights spend more energy during locomotion ...

We name all these examples because they relate the height, weight, sex and age, fundamental and strictly necessary variables to know the TMB of any human being.
