For a 28 yr old female with height of 160 centimeters and weight 45 kilograms, B is 1300 calories.  If her weight increases to 50kg then B is 1365 calories.  There is a linear equation that express B in terms of weight w . Find the equation and find the basal energy requirements if her weight is 53.2kg </SPAN>\n" );
