The top region of the screen provides the user details and allows the selection of
display units in kCal or kJoules. It is also possible to select just to view the AEE
component of energy expenditure rather than viewing all of the components.
The lower section of the display shows the components of energy expenditure
day by day.
These are shown graphically and numerically with both being colour coded. Total
Energy Expenditure (TEE) is derived by adding to the calculated AEE a
component for Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) and a component for Diet
Induced Thermogenesis (DIT). The physical activity level (PAL) is also shown
and this is a ratio of daily TEE to REE. The REE can either be estimated using
the Schofield equations or can be specified by the user (see
Appendix 3 and
Section 4.4.8.1 respectively).
For details of how the AEE and REE values are calculated during incomplete
days and /or when the monitor is not worn please see
Appendix 5 .
A PAL figure is only shown for complete days with the figures for an incomplete
day being shown in grey.
