Preferred term

indirect calorimetry  

Definition

  • Indirect calorimetry is a method used to determine how many calories a person is using during different physical conditions. This is a useful technique because the amount of calories a person uses will vary from one person to the next based upon physical characteristics such as body weight and percent body fat. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Indirect Calorimetry]
