What does the Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) calculation involve?

  1. Q1 x C1 = Q2 x C2

  2. Wt of substance (g/L) / MW * 1000

  3. E = (58.5)(i) / (MW of drug)(1.8)

  4. BEE x activity factor x stress factor

The correct answer is: BEE x activity factor x stress factor

The Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) calculation involves multiplying the Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE) by the activity factor and stress factor. Option A is an incorrect formula and does not relate to TEE. Option B is an incorrect formula for calculating the specific gravity of a substance, not for TEE. Option C is an incorrect formula for calculating the amount of energy released when a drug is burned, not for TEE. The correct formula for TEE involves taking into account all aspects of energy expenditure, including resting metabolic rate, physical activity, and stress levels.
