AB  - Stability  of  body  weight  requires  that  energy  intake  and  expenditures  are  balanced  over  time.  The  major  categories  of  energy  output  are  resting  energy  expenditure  (REE)  and  physical  activity;  minor  sources  include  the  energy  cost  of  metabolizing  food  (thermic  effect  of  food  or  specific  dynamic  action)  and  shivering  thermogenesis.  The  average  energy  intake  is  about  2600  kcal/d  for  men  and  about  1800  kcal/d  for  women,  though  these  estimates  vary  with  age,  body  size,  and  activity  level.  Malnutrition  occurs  in  30–50%  of  hospitalized  pts,  depending  upon  the  setting  and  severity  of  illness.  The  presence  of  inflammation,  including  after  surgical  procedures,  can  increase  energy  expenditure  and  alter  nutritional  assessment  indicators  such  as  albumin.
