Establishing energy requirements for body weight maintenance: validation of an intake-balance method.

MEI from foods observed during the 10-day balance period (2390 ± 543 kcal/day) was non-significantly different (p = 0.96) from TEE measured by DLW (2373 ± 713 kcal/day); the MEI/TEE DLW ratio was 1.03 ± 0.15 (range 0.87–1.27) and the correlation between MEI from foods and TEE DLW was highly significant (R 2 , 0.88, p = 0.005).
