Neco 2018 Biology Question 1
Practice objective / multiple choice question 1 from the 2018 Neco Biology examination.
A 25‑year‑old female weighing 60\,kg and 165\,cm tall wishes to lose 5\,kg in 10\,weeks. Her basal metabolic rate (BMR) can be estimated by the Harris‑Benedict equation \(BMR = 655 + 9.6W + 1.8H - 4.7A\) where \(W\) is weight in kg, \(H\) height in cm and \(A\) age in years. She is moderately active (activity factor 1.55). Assuming 7700\,kcal are stored per kilogram of fat, determine (a) the daily caloric intake she should adopt to achieve the weight loss, and (b) the number of grams of protein she must consume each day if 20\% of her calories are to come from protein (4\,kcal per gram).
