Annual review of nutrition, 1987•annualreviews.orgThe assessment of energy expenditure in man has been carried out by direct and indirect
calorimetry for nearly a century. Major advances in the study of energy metabolism were
made by the outstanding work of many investigators during the first decades of this century,
and the recent development of new technologies for measuring heat losses and gas
exchanges has improved our ability to study energy turnover in man. This presentation deals
with recent developments in the assessment of energy expenditure and fuel utilization in
