Aims: Measurements of resting energy expenditure (REE) were compared with the data of 14 equations to determine their accuracy. Methods: REE measurements by indirect calorimetry in 1,032 unselected overweight and obese men (n = 306) and women (n = 726) were compared with calculations by 14 different formulas. Results: The mean (± SD) values calculated with the Owen, Robertson and Reid and WHO-I equations were not significantly different from our measurement of 1,682 ± 441.9 kcal/24 h. The values obtained with the Livingston, Mifflin, Müller and Bernstein equations were significantly different but still within a range of ±100 kcal/24 h. For females, the best comparison was observed with the Müller equation which, however, differed substantially in males. For men, the Cunningham equation was best, but it gave the worst comparison in women. A good individual match was only obtained with the equation of Robertson and Reid in 34% of the men and with the Owen equation in 38% of the women. All other formulas were less accurate. Drug treatment for 55% of the subjects had no effect on the mismatch between calculated and measured data. Conclusion: Calculations of REE with most equations seem to be valid in a group analysis but they are not helpful for the estimation of an obese patient's individual energy expenditure.

“…Dietary ED of foods and beverages was calculated as total energy intake (kcal per day) divided by total weight of daily food intake (g per day). 40 In order to investigate associations between beverage energy and ED, ED was calculated using two definitions: (1) including solid food only (ED F ) 2,41 and (2) including solid foods and energy-containing beverages (ED F&B ). 42 Energy-containing beverages comprised soups and bouillon, fruit/ vegetable juices, sugared carbonated/ soft/ isotonic drinks, milk, chocolate milk & probiotic beverages.…”

,10 on behalf of the IDEFICS consortium OBJECTIVES: To describe energy density (ED; kcal g − 1 ) of dietary intake of European children. METHODS: From 16 228 children who participated in the IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of Dietary-and lifestyle-induced health EFfects In Children and infantS) baseline examination, 8551 children with 24-h dietary recalls (24-HDR), with plausible reported energy intakes and complete covariate information were included in the present analysis. ED was calculated using two methods: (1) ED including solid foods (ED F ) and (2) ED including solid foods and energy-containing beverages (ED F&B ). Beverage energy was calculated in kcal per day. Dietary characteristics and body mass index (BMI) z-score of children aged 2 to o 6 years and 6 to o 10 years were compared between children with an overall ED F below the o 25th percentile, between the 25th and 75th percentile as well as above the 475th percentile. Standardised regression coefficients were estimated to assess the association between dietary characteristics, BMI z-score and ED of the diet. RESULTS: Children with low ED F and ED F&B diets consumed less energy but higher quantity of food and beverages than children with high ED F and ED F&B diets. Consumption of caloric beverages decreased with increasing ED F&B of the diet owing to the relatively low ED of the beverages, in relation to solid foods. Generally, children with low ED F and ED F&B diets showed healthier food choices than peers with higher ED F and ED F&B diets. In this sample, ED F and ED F&B were not associated with BMI z-score. CONCLUSION: Health promotion strategies should proclaim lower ED diets by means of foods with high water and low fat content and mainly fruit and vegetable components. Excluding caloric beverages from ED F calculation is a useful method to avoid misinterpretation of true exposure to a high energy dense diet. We recommend excluding caloric beverages from ED F calculation when investigating the effect of ED on a certain (health) outcome.International Journal of Obesity (2014) 38, S124-S134; doi:10.1038/ijo.2014.143 BACKGROUND High energy density of the diet was found to be associated with obesity in humans.1 In adults, there is strong evidence that diets high in energy density (ED, kcal g − 1 ) are associated with increased body weight, whereas diets low in ED encourage weight maintenance or even weight loss.2 The body of evidence for an association between high dietary ED and obesity is less strong in children and adolescents.3,4 High ED was found to be associated with greater intakes of energy, fat and added sugars, and with significantly lower intakes of fruits and vegetables.

SummaryDietary energy density (DED) might be associated with the quality of the consumed diet. Therefore, this study was conducted to report the relationship between dietary energy density and diet quality index in Iranian youths. In this cross-sectional study we enrolled 410 female young adults in Isfahan-Iran who were selected according to the stratified random sampling method from among students of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. A validated semi quantitative food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the usual dietary intakes. Dietary energy density was calculated as each individual's reported daily energy intake (kcal/d) into total weight of foods (excluding beverages) consumed (g/d). Diet quality was assessed by healthy eating index (HEI), nutrient adequacy ratio (NAR), and mean adequacy ratio (MAR). For calculating the NAR the ratio of daily individual intakes to standard recommended amounts for the subject's sex and age category was used. MAR was calculated as the sum of NARs divided by the number of nutrients ( n ϭ 10). Mean dietary energy density was 1.5 Ϯ 0.2 kcal/g and mean HEI was 57.5 Ϯ 16.0. Those in the highest quartile of DED had the lowest value for HEI, MAR, and NAR of zinc, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin B12 and vitamin B2 ( p Ͻ 0.05). Those in the highest quartile of DED had the highest prevalence of calcium, zinc, vitamin B2, vitamin B12, and vitamin C deficiency ( p Ͻ 0.05). Dietary energy density was inversely associated with the diet quality indices among Iranian young women adults. Key Words healthy eating index, dietary energy density, mean adequacy ratio, diet quality, nutrient adequacy ratio Total energy intake is one of the most important issues in the field of the relationship between dietary intake and the prevalence of the chronic diseases such as overweight and obesity ( 1 ). However, recently the amount of energy in a given weight of food named as dietary energy density is considered as a determinant of non-communicable diseases ( 2-6 ). There are some cross-sectional and prospective reports regarding the association between dietary energy density and obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes ( 7-12 ). A clinical trial also confirmed that reduced dietary energy density had resulted in significant weight loss ( 13 ). Preliminary findings suggest that consuming a diet lower in ED may aid with weight loss maintenance ( 14 ).Energy density of the diets could also be associated with the healthy or unhealthy characteristic of the diets. Energy-dense diets have been reported to contain higher amounts of fat, refined grains and added sugars, but lower amounts of fruits and vegetables, wholegrains and dietary fiber. High dietary energy density is associated with unhealthy food choices ( 15 ). The main characteristic of energy-dense diets is higher amounts of saturated and trans fats and a higher glycemic load ( 15 ). According to a previous report, consumption of a low-energy-dense diet had been associated with higher intakes of micronutrient-rich foods, lower intakes of...
