Predictive equations are widely used for REE in WL interventions, even though accuracy is poor. This new study demonstrates they are even worse over the 12 months of a WL intervention program. Why estimate when measurement is available for clinic today? https://t.co/aB2gqRSPqr

What people are saying
Discussions often mention that predictive equations perform poorly during long-term weight loss interventions, with posts like 'predictive equations are widely used but accuracy is poor,' highlighting concerns over their reliability. The tone varies from skeptical to curious, with some users debating whether those formulas are useful when more precise measurement options are available, reflecting a balanced mix of interest and recognition of the study’s potential impact.
Most discussions acknowledge the study’s findings about the decreasing accuracy of predictive equations over time, showing general agreement on its implications.
Participants display a moderate interest, with some posts questioning the practicality of using these formulas and highlighting the importance of precise measurement.
Posts engage with the topic by referencing researchers, questioning the current practices, and discussing potential impacts on clinical settings.
The discussions suggest that the study could influence future approaches to estimating energy expenditure, emphasizing the need for more accurate methods in weight management.
Abstract in brief
- The study found that common formulas used to estimate resting energy expenditure (REE) become less accurate during a 12-month weight loss program, with increasing errors over time.
- All four models initially overestimated REE after 1 month, but some shifted to underestimate REE by the end of the study, especially as participants lost fat-free mass.
- Changes in body composition, particularly fat-free mass loss, influenced the accuracy of these predictive equations, highlighting the importance of considering weight history when estimating calorie needs during weight loss.]
