Your basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy (in calories) your body needs to function at rest. The Harris-Benedict formula is used to estimate the basal metabolic rate. There is one formula for adult males and another for adult females. In these formulas w is your body weight in pounds, h is your height in inches, a is your age in years, M = M(w, h, a) is the basal metabolic rate for adult males, and F = F(w, h, a) is the basal metabolic rate for adult females: M = 66 + 6.3w+ 12.7h 6.8a F = 655 + 4.3w+4.7h - 4.7a. Use functional notation to express the basal metabolic rate of a 17 year old female that weighs 145 pounds and is 67 inches tall. F Calculate this value.
