Abstract
The daily activities of 45 housewives living at home with young children were studied. A 24-hour diary technique was used to record the various activities concerned with running the home, caring for the children, and leisure. Classification of each diary entry leads to calculation of times for specific activities. An estimate of the average daily energy expenditure was then computed using values for the calorie cost of each activity obtained from the literature.
