Thanks for your reply.
That was a general metabolic question, looked interesting to me, so I posted here. I dont think it has a Step 2 significance as such.

Anyway the answer given was D. Only one third of total energy expenditure is by physical activity. Probably the rest of 2/3rd is used for all other mechanisms.
BMR is taken only for weight, not height, and its higher in men than women. The proteins intake in adults should be same as any other age.

yeah, looked interesting to me too. Women right activists would probably still advocate for A :arrow: Everything has to be equal.

By the way, A tricked me too.
