Directions: Use the your book and the formulas in the table below to answer the questions.

Table: DRIs for Energy for Children (Available at: http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=10490&page=107)

EER for Boys 3 through 8 years

EER = 88.5 (61.9 × age [y]) + PA × (26.7 × weight [kg] + 903 × height [m]) + 20 kcal

EER for Girls 3 through 8 Years

EER = 135.3 (30.8 × age [y]) + PA × (10.0 × weight [kg] + 934 × height [m]) + 20 kcal

EER for Boys 9 through 18 Years

EER = 88.5 – (61.9 × age [y]) + PA × (26.7 × weight [kg] + 903 × height [m]) + 25 kcal

EER for Girls 9 through 18 Years

EER = 135.3 – (30.8 × age [y]) + PA × (10.0 × weight [kg] + 934 × height [m]) + 25 kcal

PA = 1.00 if PAL is estimated to be 1.0 < 1.4 (sedentary)*

PA = 1.13 if PAL is estimated to be 1.4 < 1.6 (low active)

PA = 1.26 if PAL is estimated to be 1.6 < 1.9 (active)

PA = 1.42 if PAL is estimated to be 1.9 < 2.5 (very active)

6.      Calculate the energy and protein requirements for a 4.5-year-old male who weighs 38 pounds and is 39 inches tall and is considered sedentary. (2 pt)

7.     Calculate the energy and protein requirements for a 5-year-old female who weighs 42 pounds and is 44 inches tall and is considered active. (2 pt)

8.     Calculate the energy and protein requirements for a 10-year-old female who weighs 85 pounds, is 56 inches tall and is considered low active. (2 pt)

9.     Calculate the energy and protein requirements for an 11-year-old male who weighs 112 pounds, is 60 inches tall and is considered active. (2 pt)

10.     What differences do you notice between the children’s energy requirements and the preadolescents’ requirements (i.e., kcal/kg)? What accounts for these differences? (3 pt)

Explanation / Answer

6. energy requirement is 1,101.89Kcal/kg

Protein requirement is 0.76G/Kg/d

7.Energy requirement is 1527.62Kcal/kg

protein requirements is 0.76g/kg/d

.

8.Energy requirement is 1789.29Kcal/kg

protein requirements is 0.74g/kg/d

9.

Energy requirement is 2877.53Kcal/kg

protein requirements is 0.77g/kg/d

10. As the age increases that is when children grow to preadolescents age the energy requirement increases. This changes is seen because as the age increases the requirement increases due to increased demand for maintaining body size, growth, body composition and to have long term good health.
