    1) Food calories are measured in kcalories, with 1 gram of carbohydrates providing 4 calories, 1 gram of protein providing 4 calories, and 1 gram of fats providing 9 calories. 2) Basal metabolic rate is the minimum energy needed by the body at rest and accounts for over half of daily calorie needs, with the standard formula being 1 calorie per kilogram of body weight per hour. 3) Several formulas can calculate basal metabolic rate more accurately, such as the Harris-Benedict formula which incorporates weight, height, age and sex.

    ENERGY FROM FOODS

    Food calorie is measured in kcalorie


    1 gram of CHO = 4 calories
    1 gram of Protein = 4 calories
    1 gram of fats = 9 calories

    Bomb

    calorimeter a device used to


    measure the total calorie content from food.
    1000 calories = 1 kcalorie

    The Joule
    Measure

    of energy in the metric system


    1 calorie (kcalorie) = 4.184 joule (kjoules)

    Example:
    1 cup of milk = 170 kcal
    170 kcal x 4.184 =711.28 kjoules

    Calculation of food value

    The energy value of one tablespoon of sugar


    (15 grams) is 60 calories (15x4). Most foods
    are complex and contains protein, fat and
    carbohydrates.

    Example: I cup of milk contains the following;


    12 grams carbohydrates x 4 cal/gm. = 48 kcal
    8 grams protein X 4 cal/gm
    = 32 kcal
    10 grams fat x 9 cal/gm = 90 kcal
    Total
    170 kcal

    Calculation of food value

    To calculate the percentage of kcalories


    from fat.

    Example:
    Divide the 90 fat kcal by the total 170 kcal.
    90 fat kcal/170 kcal = 0.529 or 0.53
    0.53 = 53%

    Components of energy
    expenditure
    Basal metabolism is the measure of energy
    needed by the body at rest for all its internal
    chemical activities.
    The minimum amount of energy needed by
    the body at rest in the fasting state is 1 calorie
    per kilogram of the body per hour for an adult.
    It accounts for more than one-half of calorie
    requirements needed for life processes;
    respiration, cellular metabolism, glandular
    activity and maintenance of body
    temperature.

    Conditions necessary for BMR


    Test
    To ensure accuracy:

    Subject must fast at least 12 hours after


    the meal (test is usually taken in the
    morning)

    Subject must be awake, lying quietly, free


    from physical fatigue, nervousness and
    tension causes an increase in heat
    production.

    The room temperature should be between


    20-25 degrees centigrade to maintain the
    body temperature of the subject.

    Calculating Basal Metabolic


    Rate

    The rule of thumb is the simple method for BMR


    calculation (male adult =1 kcal/kilogram/hour;
    female adult = 0.9kcal/kilogram/hour. This may
    not be applicable for obese or lean individual.
    Example:
    male 75 kg
    1kcal x 75 x 24 hours = 1,800 kcal
    female 65 kg
    0.9 kcal x 65 x 24 hours = 1,404 kcal

    Calculating Basal Metabolic


    Rate

    Harris-Benedict formula (1909) using weight,


    height, age and sex.

    Male:
    REE = 66+[13.7x wt(kg)]+[5x ht(cm)]-[6.8x
    age(yrs)]
    Female:
    REE = 655+[9.6x wt(kg)]+[1.8x ht(cm)]-[4.7x
    age(yrs)]

    Calculating Basal Metabolic


    Rate
    Biologic Body Weight raised to the power
    obtaining metabolic or fat-free body size.
    The metabolic body size is based on weight
    in kilograms multiplied by 70.

    Example:
    A 50 kg mans REE = 18.8 x 70 = 1,325 kcal

    Calculating Basal Metabolic


    Rate

    This method is developed in 1984 by WHO,


    FAO and UNU.

    Formula:
    1.6 x wt(kg + 879) = REE
    Compute for: What is the REE of a man
    weighing 50 kilograms.

    Calculating Basal Metabolic


    Rate

    REE for
    REE =
    =
    =

    a man weighing 50 kilograms


    1.6 x 50 kg + 879
    1.6 x 929
    1486.4 kcal
