Formula

The formula to calculate the Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) is:

\[ TEE = 1.2 \times \text{Weight} \times \text{PAL} \]

Where:

Total Energy Expenditure (TEE): The total amount of energy used by the body in a day, including basic metabolic functions, physical activity, and digestion of food.
Body Weight: The weight of the person in kilograms.
Physical Activity Level (PAL): A measure of the amount of physical activity a person engages in.

Let's say the body weight is 70 kg and the physical activity level (PAL) is 1.5. Using the formula:

\[ TEE = 1.2 \times 70 \times 1.5 \]

We get:

\[ TEE \approx 126.00 \text{ kcal/day} \]

So, the total energy expenditure is approximately 126.00 kcal/day.
