Summary

Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) is known as the energy used by an organism during a day. The TDEE is divided into resting energy expenditure (REE), the thermic effect of food (TFE), and the energy expenditure of physical activity. There are multiple methods of measuring REE (e.g., estimating equations, direct and indirect calorimetry) among which there are significant discrepancies in its calculation in specific populations. Considering the lack of validation in the Colombian population to estimate the REE, the objective of the present research study is to compare the methods for estimating resting energy expenditure in the Colombian population with different levels of physical activity. This cross-sectional-observational study will be carried out through the guidelines for strengthening the reporting of observational studies in nutritional epidemiology (STROBE-Nut). The study population will be 130 adults from the city of Medellín, Bogotá and metropolitan areas with different levels of physical activity according to the results of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPA-Q) where a high (athletes), moderate (physically active people) and low (sedentary) categorization will be made, then the indirect calorimetry tests will be applied. The development of the equation to estimate the REE will be carried out with multiple regression models under traditional and Bayesian approaches with three independent variables. It is expected to obtain a simple and valid equation to estimate the REE and contribute to the good practices of Colombian practitioners in health sciences, exercise, and sports.
