Indirect calorimetry measures?
O2 consumed
CO2 produced
N2 eliminated
Respiratory quotient (RQ)
vol CO2 produced/vol O2 consumed
Respiratory (RQ) for carb/prot/fat
carb 1
prot 0.8 (lower because protein oxidation)
fat 0.7
When is respiratory question higher? Lower?
Higher- lipogenesis (less O2 consumed)
Lower- gluconeogenesis
Calculate TEE
Total energy expenditure:
- BMR calculate for 24 hours (1 M, 0.9F)
- correct 10% for sleep
- add physical activity requirement (for waking hours)
- correct for thermogenesis (10% for mixed diet)
BMR vs RMR vs BEE
BMR: awake with fasting
RMR; no fasting (10% higher than BMR)
BEE: based on height, weight, age
What increases BMR?
increase temp, increase stress, incrase thyroiid fxn, pregnancy/lactation
