Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE):
the amount of calories one needs for maintenance of current weight with out considering any acticivity factor (confined to bed).
The BEE can be used alone if a person engages in exercise frequently and is trying to lose weight. The result is a caloric deficit equal to the duration and intensity of the person's activity.
Total
Caloric Need:
the amount of calories one needs including activity factor and injury
factors
(the BEE multiplied by the appropriate activity and injury factor
if any).
The result is the caloric need equal to the duration and intensity
of the
person's activity and injury factor if any.
Rember everyone
is different and even scientific equations can be off slighty!
Therefore, adjust your calories accordingly and keep track of your
progress
by scales and body-fat analysis.
