Abstract: The energy requirement of a child or adult is the average amount of food energy needed to sustain normal body weight, normal physical activity, and any special needs associated with children's growth, recovery from illness, pregnancy, or lactation. Energy requirements should not be estimated from inaccurate measures of food intake but from energy expenditure values measured by oxygen uptake at rest, after food, and when physically active. However, now doubly labeled water techniques are being used to reevaluate the overall energy expenditure of children and adults over the period of 2–3 weeks. Tables are provided for calculating individual or group requirements.
