Basal Metabolism Minimum amount of energy expended in

a fasting state to keep a resting, awake body alive in a warm quiet environment.

60-70% in a sedentary person

Let’s see how basal metabolism contributes to energy needs.

Basal Metabolism 2.2 lb for every kg, convert weight

200 / 2.2 = 90 kg

Rough estimate of basal metabolism: 0.9 kcal/kg per hour 1.0 kcal/kg per hour

90 x 1 = 90 kcal/hr

90 x 24 = 2160 kcal

Basal Metabolism

Factors that Increase:Lean Body Mass Body Surface Area Gender Body Temperature Thyroid Hormones Nervous System Activity Pregnancy Caffeine & Tobacco Use

Basal Metabolism

Factors that Decrease: Low Energy Intake

10-20%150 to 300 kcal/day

Loss of Lean Body Mass1-2% past age of 30 Physical Activity Preserves

Physical Activity

Increases basal metabolism by 25 – 40%.

Varies widely among individuals

Varies among activities.

Examples: stairs vs elevator, walking vs driving, standing vs sitting.

Evaluation: leisure time

Digestion, Absorption & Processing

Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)

Sales Tax: 5 – 10%For every 100 calories of basal

metabolism, 105 – 110 kcal.

Food Composition Protein (20-30%) Carbohydrate (5-10%) Fat (0-3%)

Thermogenesis Increase in non-voluntary physical

activity triggered by cold conditions or overeating.

Fidgeting, Shivering, Maintenance of Muscle Tone, Upholding Body Posture

Concept Energy Balance = Input + Output

The Body Uses Energy for 4 main purposes:

Basal Metabolism (60-70%)

Physical Activity (20-30%)

Digestion, Absorption, & Processing
