Question:
Brett weighs 85 kg and is on a diet of 2200 calories per day, of which 1200 are used automatically by basal metabolism. He spends about 15 cal/kg/day times his weight doing exercise. If 1 kg of fat contains 10,000 cal and we assume that the storage of calories in the form of fat is 100% efficient, formulate a differential equation and solve it to find his weight as a function of time. Does his weight ultimately approach an equilibrium weight?
