The physical activity coefficients are used in the EER equations to estimateĮnergy requirements and are based on ranges of physical activity levels. 'Physical Activity Coefficients (PA)' and the 'Physical Activity Levels (PAL).' When using the EER equations, it is important to distinguish between the Thermoregulation, and the energy expended in depositing new tissues and in Metabolic rate, TEF (thermic effect of food), physical activity, Measurement.) Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) is the sum of the basal Water database (considered the gold standard for Total Energy Expenditure These equations were based on an extensive doubly labeled in 2005 when the revised food pyramid (MyPyramid) was Were released in September 2002 and were used to formulate the new dietary The EER predictive equations developed by the Institute of Medicine Equation The needs associated with growth or secretion of milk at rates consistent with In children and pregnant and lactating women, the EER includes Predicted to maintain energy balance in healthy, normal weight individuals of aĭefined age, gender, weight, height, and level of physical activity consistent Institute of Medicine - Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)Įstimated Energy Requirement (EER) is the average dietary energy intake that is
