Measure Definition:

This measurement provides an estimate of the changes in energy intake over time. The method requires baseline information about sex, age, and height along with repeated body weight data and optional physical activity data (e.g., from an accelerometer). The method calculates the changes in energy intake over time that correspond to the measured body weight changes using a mathematical model of adult human energy balance dynamics. 

Construct:

Diet

Construct Definition (and Source):

Regular course of eating and drinking adopted by a person or animal. (MeSH)
