a For each year below 30, add 4 kcal/d to BEE and 10 kcal/d to TEE. For each year above 30, subtract 4 kcal/d from BEE and 10 kcal/d from TEE. Equations determined from combined DLW databases (Appendix Table I-11).
equations for normal-weight men and women, and TEE was calculated utilizing the EER equations in the section “Adults Ages 19 Years and Older.” For overweight and obese adults with BMIs from 25 up to 40 kg/m2, the above BEE prediction equations for normal, overweight, and obese men and women were utilized to calculate BEE, and the above TEE equations for normal, overweight, and obese individuals were used to predict the TEE. The differences between the predictions made for BMI of 24.99 kg/m2 and BMI of 25 kg/m2 in Tables 5-29 and 5-30 show that the discrepancies at the junction of the two prediction ranges are essentially negligible as average differences (± SD) are 0.4 ± 2.1 percent in men, and 0.9 ± 1.1 percent in women, respectively.
