A simple Java application which can be used to calculate resting energy expenditure. Resting energy expenditure (REE), essentially, is the amount of calories your body burns while at rest; the app calculates the REE based on the equation chosen by the user. REE equations currently implemented:
- Harris-Benedict
- Mifflin-St Jeor
- Ireton-Jones
- Institute of Medicine
There are fields for the patient's weight, height, age and gender. A BMI field is provided and automatically calculated, purely for convenience. The REE value is automated calculated and updated as any of the fields are changed.
==========
BayleeCalc (working title) was created for my wife as a means to quickly calculate REE values for a large number of participants. The equations used are publicly available, any equations which factor in physical activity use a coefficient of 1 in this application, and ventilators are not considered. Additional equations can be added by request.
