[HTML][HTML] Energy requirements during pregnancy based on total energy expenditure and energy deposition
NF Butte, WW Wong, MS Treuth, KJ Ellis… - The American journal of …, 2004 - Elsevier
Background Energy requirements during pregnancy remain controversial because of
uncertainties regarding maternal fat deposition and reductions in physical activity. Objective
This study was designed to estimate the energy requirements of healthy underweight,
normal-weight, and overweight pregnant women and to explore energetic adaptations to
pregnancy. Design The energy requirements of 63 women [17 with a low body mass index
(BMI; in kg/m 2), 34 with a normal BMI, and 12 with a high BMI] were estimated at 0, 9, 22 …
