Technique accounts for all factors and measurements to determine PAL and energy expended from daily physical activity and should provide a useful approach for academic, research, clinical, and public health settings.īack to top EER Components and Energy BalanceĬomponents of the EER are incorporated in the template spreadsheet using Microsoft Excel 2000 The template includes components of energy expenditure that include We have created a template using a spreadsheet to simplify the EERĬalculation process. Using the EER predictive equations, we devised an easy way to calculate daily energy requirements for both men and women based on But understanding EER equation components and factors can be time consuming. In addition, it has the potential for use in clinical settings as well as academic and research settings for nutritionalĪnd physical activity assessment and for weight management studies when energy expenditure from physical activity is not measurable. Or TEE or to assess energy requirement (4). This approach differs from the more commonly used predictive equations used in clinical settings (e.g., the Harris–Benedict equation) to estimate basal Lactation or growth and development, are accounted for (3). All aspects of energy expenditure in a 24-hour period, including energy expended in synthesizing new tissues or as a result of PAL on total energy expenditure (TEE) (1). The equations used to calculate the EER consider factors that affect an individual’s daily energy expenditure, account for increments in energy expenditure based on physical activity, and quantify the effect of the In individuals with healthy weights, the EER consists of predictive equations forĬalculating the amount of energy intake that will maintainĪny individual’s body weight, as measured by doubly labeled water studies (1). Based on the energy intake needed to maintain energy balance Is calculated from a set of equations and factors that account for an individual’sĮnergy intake, energy expenditure, age, sex, weight, height, and physical activity level Prevalence of overweight and obesity in North America and the need to adequately assess energy balance (2). The motivation for establishing the EER was tied to public health awareness and concern about the increased The National Academies sets the Dietary Reference Intake for energy as the Estimated Energy Requirement (EER). In the report Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat,įatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein and Amino Acids (Macronutrients) (1), the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of

Possible and achieving energy balance a more realistic goal. Including physical activity level in the calculations makes determining energy expenditure The EER is based onĬalculations that account for an individual’s energy intake, energyĮxpenditure, age, sex, weight, height, and physical activity level.
