From the Guidelines
A 157 cm female typically needs approximately 1,800-2,000 calories per day for weight maintenance, assuming a moderately active lifestyle. This estimate is based on the Estimated Energy Requirements (EER) equations from the Institute of Medicine, as referenced in the expert panel on integrated guidelines for cardiovascular health and risk reduction in children and adolescents 1. To determine a more precise caloric needs, consider factors such as weight, age, and activity level.
- For weight maintenance, multiply your weight in kilograms by 25-30 if you're moderately active, or by 20-25 if you're sedentary.
- For weight loss, you might aim for 300-500 calories less than your maintenance level.
- For weight gain, add 300-500 calories to your maintenance level. These calorie requirements reflect your body's basic metabolic needs plus the energy required for daily activities. For a more personalized calculation, consider using the Harris-Benedict or Mifflin-St Jeor equations, which factor in your specific measurements, or consult with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian who can provide guidance tailored to your individual circumstances and health goals 1.
From the Research
Caloric Needs for a 157 cm Female
There are no research papers provided that directly address the caloric needs for a 157 cm female. The studies available focus on various medical topics, including:
- The cardiovascular safety of oral semaglutide in persons with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk 2, 3
- The association between inhaled corticosteroids and adverse events in adults with asthma 4
- The use of HDL nanodiscs loaded with Liver X Receptor Agonist to decrease tumor burden in a mouse glioma model 5
- The development of long-circulating siRNA nanoparticles for validating Prohibitin1-targeted non-small cell lung cancer treatment 6
Relevant Information
While the provided studies do not directly address caloric needs, they do discuss topics related to health and medicine. However, without specific information on caloric requirements, it is not possible to provide a detailed answer to the question.
Key Points
- The studies provided do not address caloric needs for a 157 cm female
- The topics discussed in the studies include cardiovascular safety, inhaled corticosteroids, cancer treatment, and siRNA nanoparticles
- There is no relevant information available to provide a specific answer to the question regarding caloric needs.
