The phrase "a caloric requirement" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the amount of calories needed for a specific purpose, such as maintaining weight, losing weight, or supporting physical activity.
Example: "To achieve your fitness goals, it's important to understand your caloric requirement based on your activity level and metabolism."
Alternatives: "caloric needs" or "energy requirement".
Methylxanthines also increase energy expenditure, possibly leading to diminished growth in premature infants, suggesting an extra caloric requirement is necessary in infants treated with theophylline [ 2, 19, 79].
CONCLUSIONS: Calorie labels on restaurant menus impacted food choices and intake; adding a recommended daily caloric requirement label increased this effect, suggesting menu label legislation should require such a label.
For example, if the total goal for the day was 1,500 ml of a nutritional solution to meet their caloric requirement, then the hourly rate would be 62.5 ml/hr.
The dietary advice was individually adjusted to result in an intake corresponding to doubling the present caloric requirement.
This increased caloric requirement may be due both to exercise – often a hallmark of this illness - and metabolism.
Next, the patients ate a meal appropriate for their age (meal provided >30% of daily caloric requirement) and the recording was continued for another 60 minutes [ 24].
The presently investigated patients comprise a well-defined subpopulation, which does not allow us to generalize as these patients did not suffer from any additional organ dysfunction apart from brain injury, did not require dialysis or hemofiltration, and had a well-functioning gastrointestinal tract receiving enteral nutrition according to the individually determined caloric requirement.
Total caloric requirement during each 6-day study was given by infusion of a liquid diet (Isocal) through the gastric fistula following the experiment.
They found that "much of the population" had "suffered prolonged food deprivation" between May and September of this year, as rations in the public system were reduced once again, to only one-third of the minimum daily caloric requirement.
The evolution of the human brain, with its high metabolic cost determined by its large number of neurons, may therefore only have been possible due to the use of fire to cook foods, thus enabling individuals to ingest in very little time the entire caloric requirement for the day.
