Measurement of actual energy expended for various activities were done by indirect calorimetry using the Kofranyi-Michaelis respirometer. The mean total energy expenditure was 1,824 kcal/day. Based on this, the mothers were classified as moderately active to very active since they spentt about 40 kcal/kg DBW/day. Assessment of food intake indicated a mean of 1,835 kcal/day. The differences between the food intake and energy expenditure of mothers were, however, not significant. NO - Thesis (M.S.)--University of the Philippines, Diliman. NO - Vita. NO - Typescript.
