Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a group of 5 hikers, each weighing 75 kg, planning a 10 km hike with an elevation gain of 300 m. Calculate the total energy expenditure, considering an average speed of 3 m/min and a moderate activity factor of 1.5.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to account for the total number of hikers and their individual energy needs.
During a multi-day hike, if a hiker burns 3000 calories per day at a TDEE of 2500 calories, calculate how much weight they would potentially lose over a week, assuming 1 kg = 7700 calories.
💡 Hint: Use the weight loss formula to guide your calculations.
