Prediction of Metabolizable Energy in Preadolescent Children1

Dorothy S. Moschette2, Sarah T. Ehrlich3, Charlotte W. Bedell4 and B. R. Farthing

Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Metabolizable energy (ME) of preadolescent girls can be predicted accurately from gross energy (GE) intake and dietary nitrogen (DN). Three formulas, based on dietary composition, have been developed using data obtained from 58 subjects on controlled metabolic experiments containing various amounts and quality of protein. The following prediction formula covers the most extensive range in dietary composition of these experiments: ME = 0.9746 (GE) - 4.28 (DN) - 57.24.

1 This study was part of the Southern Regional Research Project, S-28. Requirements and Utilization of Selected Nutrients by Preadolescent Children, supported in part by funds appropriated to the USDA under the Research and Marketing Act of 1946 and the Hatch Act, as amended. The Human Nutrition Division of the Agricultural Research Service was a cooperator in this project. A series of papers has been published under the title, "Metabolic Patterns in Preadolescent Children."
