Gce Model Questions Vol1 2019 Biology Question 11
Practice objective / multiple choice question 11 from the 2019 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Biology examination.
A 30‑year‑old male weighing 70 kg and 175 cm tall has a basal metabolic rate (BMR) given by the Harris‑Benedict equation \( \text{BMR}=66+(13.7\times \text{weight})+(5\times \text{height})-(6.8\times \text{age}) \) (kcal day\(^{-1}\)). He is moderately active (activity factor 1.55) and wishes to lose 0.5 kg each week. Assuming that a loss of 1 kg of body fat requires a deficit of 7700 kcal, calculate (a) his target daily caloric intake, and (b) the number of grams of protein he should consume each day if 15 % of his calories are to come from protein (protein provides 4 kcal g\(^{-1}\)).
