Energy requirements and dietary energy recommendations for children and adolescents 1 to 18 years old

Article Abstract:

The energy requirements of children and adolescents as determined by the FAO/WHO/UNU Expert Committee are evaluated. The committee admitted that the energy requirement estimates were beyond the dietary energy intakes. Energy expenditure and growth requisites should be the basis in proposing dietary recommendations for children and teenagers, taking into account their usual physical activity and lifestyle. Consideration must also be given for children's energy for socially desirable activities.

The validity of a four day weighed food record for measuring energy intake in female classical ballet dancers

Article Abstract:

There is significant under-reporting of energy intake among female classical ballet dancers, according to research design to investigate the validity of a four day weighed food record in the measurement of energy intake in female classical ballet dancers. The dancers studied under-reported their energy intake by an average of 21% a day. Under-reporting of dietary intake may cause intake of other nutrients such as iron to appear insufficient.

Energy requirements and energy expenditure in infancy

Article Abstract:

Infancy growth depends largely on the relation between energy intake, energy expenditure and energy stored. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the energy used by infants for basic functions to determine their optimal caloric intake. While energy in food can be measured, the energy requirements of infants has been difficult to calibrate. New physical activity assessment techniques served to increase knowledge in this area.
