A 27 year lady gets pregnant. She weighs 50kgs and her height is 175cm. She does exercises for 3 days per week. Find the calories, BMI, ABW, IBW, weight gain and BMR for her.
age = 27years height = 175cm weight = 50kgs
BMI, IBW, ABW, BMR, Weight gain, Calories
Calculate BMI (Body Mass Index) from the given formula, BMI = weight / (height x height) BMI = 50 / (1.75 x 1.75) BMI = 16.3
Calculate the IBW (Ideal Body Weight) during pregnancy period. Ideal Body Weight (IBW) = 45.5+(((height x 0.393700787) - 60) x 2.3)
IBW | = 45.5+(((175 x 0.393700787)-60) x 2.3) |
= 45.5 + (68.8976 - 60) x 2.3 | |
= 45.5 + (8.8976 x 2.3) | |
= 65.96 |
Calculate ABW (Adjusted Body Weight) (ABW) = IBW + 0.4(actual weight - IBW)
ABW | = 65.96 + 0.4(50 - 65.96) |
= 65.96 + 0.4(-15.96) | |
= 65.96 - 6.384 | |
= 59.6 |
Calculate BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) Basal Metabolic Rate = 655.1 + (9.6 x weight) + (1.8 x height) - (4.7 x age)
BMR | = 655.1 + (9.6 x 50) + (1.8 x 175) - (4.7 x 27) |
= 655.1 + 480 + 315 - 126.9 | |
= 1323.2 |
Finally, let us learn how to calculate the Calories level during pregnancy gestational diet. Calories = BMR x factor
Calories | = 1323.2 x 1.55 |
= 2051 |
