The Harris–Benedict equation (also called the Harris-Benedict principle) is a method used to estimate an individual's basal metabolic rate (BMR).. The estimated BMR value may be multiplied by a number that corresponds to the individual's activity level; the resulting number is the approximate daily kilocalorie intake to maintain current body weight.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. [1] It is reported in energy units per unit time ranging from watt (joule/second) to ml O 2 /min or joule per hour per kg body mass J/(h·kg).
Kleiber's plot comparing body size to metabolic rate for a variety of species. [1]Kleiber's law, named after Max Kleiber for his biology work in the early 1930s, states, after many observations that, for a vast number of animals, an animal's Basal Metabolic Rate scales to the 3 ⁄ 4 power of the animal's mass.
"nor does it account for the additional calories provided by excess body fat" This is wholly irrelevant. If one is provided with 100 calories per day by their body fat, then they must eat another 100 calories per day to maintain their body fat. The Harris-Benedict equation is for determining neutral energy balance.
Chicken Soup for the Soul has accumulated nearly $1 billion in debt, the Chapter 11 filing submitted Friday in Delaware bankruptcy court shows, after reporting loss after loss over recent quarters.
In a bid to coax Donald Trump back onto the debate stage with Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats plan to launch a new messaging campaign dubbing the former president a "chicken" for saying he ...
The Schofield Equation is a method of estimating the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of adult men and women published in 1985. [1]This is the equation used by the WHO in their technical report series. [2]
A common pathological cause for a high BMR is fever, since a rise in body temperature increases the rate of cellular metabolic reactions. [1] It is estimated that for every degree Fahrenheit of rise in body temperature, the BMR increases by 7 percent.
