To discuss: The amount of calories needed by the individual.
Introduction: Energy is needed by the body to perform daily activities, maintain basal
To discuss: The three methods to estimate daily energy requirement of an individual.
Introduction: Energy requirement of an individual refers to the minimum amount of energy that is required by the body to function. Since the activity profile of an individual is perpetually dynamic, there are fluctuations in energy requirements throughout the day. This is precisely the reason why the daily energy requirement cannot be exactly resolved, instead, an estimate is being made based on the individual’s activity, basal metabolic rates, and the thermic effect of food
To discuss: The factors that would increase or decrease the number of calories needed in a day by an individual.
Introduction: The energy requirement can be measured by the number of calories needed by the individual. There may be situations when the body requires more calories and when it would require less. This directly affects the number of calories required in a day by an individual.
