The Committee on Balancing Food & Activity for Health sought to define the state of the science and identify research gaps with regard to balancing food and activity for health.
Why is this important?
Obesity is a major public health concern in the United States and around the world, with over 72 million individuals in the United States considered obese. Creating a unified, successful obesity reduction strategy relies on understanding the underlying causes of obesity.
Committee Selects Researcher to Estimate Energy Intake using Personal Devices
The Committee has selected a research group led by Dr. Robin Shook, at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. Dr. Shook's study will validate and calibrate consumer devices to estimate energy balance.
This committee is no longer active.

Predicting Adult Weight Change in the Real World: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Accounting for Compensatory Changes in Energy Intake or Expenditure
International Journal of Obesity, 2014
The objective was to quantify the range of compensation in energy intake or expenditure observed in human randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Energy Balance and Its Components: Implications for Body Weight Regulation
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2012
The Committee on Energy Balance and Active Lifestyle organized a consensus-style conference to assess the state of the science on understanding energy balance and the development of parameters to help individuals understand and achieve energy balance.
