Talk:Institute of Medicine Equation

Undefined acronym
It's not clear what EER stands for. I can kind of figure it out based on context, but it should be defined. DRogers (talk) 03:40, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

What is the equation based on?
"The equation doesn't measure BMR, but uses experiments based on doubly labelled water." Aside from containing a typo, this doesn't make much sense to me. I'm still not sure what this equation is measuring. DRogers (talk) 03:40, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Corrections formulas
"Correction formulae are used for overweight and obese individuals." What are these correction formulas? DRogers (talk) 03:40, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Equation for girls and boys aged 3-18 may be incorrect
Based on other websites, I think the offset in this equation is incorrect. I think it should have 20, or 25 added to it. I do not have access to the published source material because it is behind a pay-wall, if anyone does have access to the original citation, could they check it. The other websites I looked at are
 * https://globalrph.com/medcalcs/estimated-energy-requirement-eer-equation/
 * https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82-003-x/2008004/article/10703/t/5800493-eng.htm

However, I would prefer if it was corrected in accordance with the source citation KreyszigB
