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.  Basal  energy  expenditure  (BEE),  measured  in  kcal/d,  may  be  estimated  by  the  Harris  and  Benedict  formula  (Fig.  6-1).
