Energy balance
Measured energy expenditure was approximately 200 kcal/day higher than reported metabolizable energy intake.
Practitioners should be aware that self-reported dietary intake may underestimate actual energy needs.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Overall, measured energy expenditure was approximately 200 kcal/day higher than reported metabolizable energy intake.
Why this rating
Based on the use of a whole-room indirect calorimeter for accurate measurement.
