title: Energy adjustment: the concepts underlying the debate.
abstract: The similarities and differences in four methods for adjusting nutrient intake for energy intake are discussed. The situation for macronutrients, as exemplified by fat intake, is compared to the situation for micronutrients such as vitamin C, with the conclusion that different methods are appropriate for the two situations. The categorization of data in analyses is identified as a source of potential misinterpretation of study results.
