Calculate resting energy expenditure based on different methods (initially Harris-Benedict and Mifflin-St Jeor)

BayleeCalc

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.

bayleecalc's Issues

Measured REE +-10%

I wrote the predicted REE +- 10%, need to change so that Baylee can write in the MEASURED REE and I can show the range of +-10% of it.

Feature: Correctness

Display range of +-10% of the calculated REE value.
Preferably in a non-editable field.
