Note: BMI = body mass index; TEE = estimated total energy expenditure; IOM = Institute of Medicine; rEI = reported energy intake; BMR = Basal Metabolic Rate calculated via Schofield predictive equation.

These values were calculated by subtracting the IOM TEE from the NHANES rEI for each respondent. Negative values indicate the kcal/day value of underreporting.
