Energy expenditure and energy balance of the 35 adult participants (Høygaard Study 1936–1937)

Adults (n = 36)	Males		Females
	Median	IQR	Median	IQR
Rest metabolic rate (kcal.day−1)a	1551	104	1352	25
Dietary induced thermogenesis (kcal.day−1)b	155	10	132	3
Energy expenditure by physical activity (kcal.day−1)c	1551	104	985	18
Total energy expenditure (kcal.day−1)d	3257	217	2490	46
Energy balance (kcal.day−1)e	527	1598	398	920

IQR = interquartile range

^aRest metabolic rate estimated by Harris-Benedict 1984 (see method section) (kcal.day⁻¹);

^bDietary-induced thermogenesis estimated as 10% of rest metabolic rate (kcal.day⁻¹);

^cEnergy expenditure by physical activity estimated from the Høygaard data (kcal.day⁻¹) with a physical activity level of 2.10 for males and 1,82 for females, corresponding to moderate to high physical activity level (see methods);

^dTotal energy expenditure (kcal.day⁻¹) (= sum of rest metabolic rate + dietary induced thermogenesis + energy expenditure by physical activity);

^eEnergy balance (kcal.day⁻¹) = energy intake (kcal.day⁻¹) – energy expenditure (kcal.day⁻¹).
