*/**: There was no significant difference for the comparison of TEE and EIE, based on sex. FFQ: Food Frequency Questionnaire, SD: standard deviation, TEE: total daily energy expenditure, EIE: estimated intake energy per day, EER: estimated energy requirement, EAR: estimated average requirement, n-3 USFA: n-3 unsaturated fatty acid, n-6 USFA: n-6 unsaturated fatty acid, AI: adequate intake
