Assessment of under- and over-reporting of energy intake
Using the ratio of energy intake to resting metabolic rate (RMR)
assessed under- and over-reporting of energy intake. RMR measured by
indirect calorimetry (MetaLyzer 3B, Cortex, Leipzig, Germany). To assess
the validity of the reported energy intake, we used the ratio of the
energy intake to RMR. We used the values defined in the Black et al. and
Goldberg et al. (14, 15) study to investigate the relative degree of
under- and over-reporting. Thus, the range of 1.35-2.39 identified as
the normal report energy intake in this study.
