    The estimated energy requirement (EER) for an adult woman (more than 19 years) can be calculated with the formula:

    EER = 354 - (6.91*age) + PA*[ (9.36*weight) + (726*height) ]

    where age is calculated in years, weight in kilograms and height in meters.

    Therefore we need to transform the units of measurement:

    5ft 3in = 1.60m

    125lb = 56.7kg

    The physical activity coefficient for an active adult woman is 1.27, therefore we have:

    EER = 354 - (6.91*20) + 1.27*[ (9.36*56.7) + (726*1.60) ]

    = 354 - 138.2 + 1.27 * (530.712 + 1161.6)

    = 2365 kcal/day

    Therefore, the answer is: Mia's EER is 2365 kcal/day.
