Energy requirements for growth and development in infancy
PSW Davies - The American journal of clinical nutrition, 1998 - Elsevier
Current international recommendations for energy requirements are based on> 9000
measurements of energy intake in both breast-and formula-fed infants. The measurement of
energy intake in babies is far from straightforward and the possibility of significant error is
great. The opportunity now exists, however, to compare current recommendations with
measurements of total energy expenditure (TEE) obtained via the doubly labeled water
technique. Approximately 300 measurements of TEE in the first year of life have been made …
