What is the resting metabolism (MET) calculation formula?

  1. 3.5ml x body weight in kg

  2. 3.5ml x body weight in lbs

  3. 1 kcal/kg/hr

  4. 4.5 METs

The correct answer is: 3.5ml x body weight in kg

The resting metabolism (MET) calculation formula is used to measure the energy expenditure at rest. The correct formula is 3.5ml x body weight in kg. While options B, C, and D may seem like possible formulas, they are not the standard calculation for resting metabolism. Option B uses body weight in lbs instead of kg, which is not the standard unit used in this calculation. Option C is a calculation for hourly energy expenditure, not resting metabolism. Option D is a measurement of metabolic equivalent, not a calculation formula. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
