Astrup et al reported equations for estimating the energy expenditure of an adult with normal weight. The authors are from the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Copenhagen.
Parameter:
(1) lean body mass (LBM) in kilograms
estimated basal energy expenditure in kcal per day=
= (32.3 * (LBM)) - 74.4
estimated resting energy expenditure in kcal per day=
= (33.3 * (LBM)) + 390
estimated sleeping energy expenditure in kcal per hour=
= (1.1 * (LBM)) + 9.8
