Use the data table that shows the estimation of the daily resting energy expenditure (REE) to explore how calorie requirements change as a person gets older. Follow the steps to calculate the REE for a person over time. Record your calculations in the table. 1. Decide to calculate the REE for a male or female.
2. Choose an adult weight.
3. Calculate the REE for the adult from age 18-29, 30-60, and over 60. Assume the adult maintains the
same body weight at each age.
4. What do these results indicate about how the body's metabolism changes over time?
