Abstract
A simple inexpensive indirect calorimeter that is suitable for the estimation of energy expenditure in man is described. Its usefulness is demonstrated by a study of the effect of coffee on energy expenditure. Caffeinated coffee increased energy expenditure by 16% over a 2-h period compared with decaffeinated coffee.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
