title: [Evaluation of total energy balance and food habits of obese children].
abstract: Total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and time spent for activities of different intensities (heart rate monitoring method), as well as dietary and food habits (24-hour dietary recall) in two groups of 12-14 year-old boys, including 35 obese (weight 67.0 kg +/- 9.3, height 162 cm +/- 7.6) and 35 control group boys (weight 46.0 kg +/- 6.5, height 160 cm +/- 7.5) were estimated. Obese boys spent more time at rest and less time on physical activities than nonobese (p < 0.001). That resulted in differences of TDEE expressed per unit of body mass (p < 0.001). Time for sleeping and time in school was not statistically different in the two groups. The evaluation of nutritional habits indicated that the obese boys, when compared with controls, had higher energy intake and significantly higher percentage of fat energy in total energy intake, low intake of fruits and vegetables and irregular frequency of meals during the day. Diets of boys were not balanced with respect to calcium and phosphorus.
