title: A comparison of calculated energy requirements to measured resting energy expenditure in HIV-1-infected subjects.
abstract: Twenty HIV-infected outpatients participating in clinical drug trials of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and enrolled in the collaborative National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) nutrition study underwent indirect calorimetry measurements. Energy requirements for these subjects also were calculated using the Harris Benedict Equation (HBE). In all 20 subjects, the calculated energy requirements underestimated actual resting expenditure as determined by indirect calorimetry.
