DocumentHuman Energy Requirements. A Manual for Planners and Nutritionists 1990
Also available in:
No results found.This manual presents a practical approach to calculating population energy needs. It is intended for use by economists, planners, and nutritionists in all parts of the world, who are dealing with problems of food supply at a national or regional level. An extensive collection of recent data on basal metabolic rates and energy expenditure of different population groups allows estimates of national energy needs to be derived. These figures allow for desirable changes in body weight and height, and physical activity in children and adults. During the preparation of the manual, discussions with planners allowed refinements to be made to suit their needs, especially in the development of computer modelling techniques. Assumptions are made that the reader is not fully versed in nutrition, nor in the finer physiological aspects of energy balance. The manual does highlight the numerous assumptions that are usually made when the energy needs of a population are calculated. It includes data for applying the methodology should local data not be available. A spreadsheet program and a User Guide are included to facilitate the calculation of requirements. As with the manual, data is supplied if local data is not available. -
