Basal Metabolic Rate Worksheet Most people can have a successful healthy diet just by estimating their quantity of food and timing their meals equally throughout the day. Your Basal metabolic Rate (BMR) is the rate at which your body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going, such as breathing and keeping warm. It is a good formula to work into your diet regimen to understand how much fuel you need to survive. Here is the formula: Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in lbs. ) +( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) 655 + - BMR Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - (6.8 x age in year) 66 + = BMR_ This formula uses the variables of height, weight, age and gender to calculate the BMR. This is a good formula because it is more accurate than calculating calorie needs based on body weight alone. The only factor that is omitted is lean body mass (the ratio of muscle to fat that a body has). So the leaner a body is the more…

Give adequate protein at 0.8 g/ kg body weight or less to reduce ammonia O c. Keep away from animal sources to ensure low fat intake O d. Amount calculated according to the DRA
Which of the following is TRUE regarding liver metabolism? Select three of the following: The liver (hepatocytes) has hundreds of functions, such as producing glucose, ketones, fatty acids, cholesterol, proteins, and bile for the rest of the body. Hepatocytes have the GLUT2 antiporter, which allows for secondary active transport of glucose into the cells. Hepatocytes have glucokinase that continually makes glucose 6-phosphate, and it has a lower Km than other hexokinases so it continuously metabolizes glucose when concentrations are low. Glucose 6-phosphate is the "transfer station" in the liver since it can be made my multiple pathways and have multiple fates. The liver converts amino acids to citric acid cycle intermediates or pyruvate for gluconeogenesis. The liver oxidizes fatty acids into glucose, which can be sent to other cells and used for energy or converted into phospholipids and triacylglycerol.
