Calculations for EER Calculation
Men
EER = 662 - (9.53 x age [y]) + PA x { (15.91 x weight [kg]) + (539.6 x height [m]) }
Women
EER = 354 - (6.91 x age [y]) + PA x { (9.36 x weight [kg]) + (726 x height [m]) }
Physical Activity Coefficients (PA values) for use in EER equations
Sedentary Typical daily living activities (e.g., household tasks, walking to the bus)
Low Active Typical daily living activities PLUS 30 - 60 minutes of daily moderate activity (ex. walking at 5-7 km/hr)
Active Typical daily living activities PLUS At least 60 minutes of daily moderate activity
Very Active Typical daily living activities PLUS At least 60 minutes of daily moderate activity PLUS An additional 60 minutes of vigorous activity or 120 minutes of moderate activity
