Energy requirement is the amount of food energy needed to balance energy expenditure in order to maintain body size, body composition and a level of necessary and desirable physical activity consistent with long-term good health. This includes the energy needed for the optimal growth and development of children, for the deposition of tissues during pregnancy, and for the secretion of milk during lactation consistent with the good health of mother and child. 2, record 1, English, - energy%20requirement

Soyons clairs sur la distinction qu'il convient de faire entre «besoin énergétique» et «demande alimentaire». Dans l'idéal, chaque individu consomme des aliments afin de satisfaire ses besoins en énergie et en nutriments, dans une quantité nécessaire pour assurer les fonctions physiologiques normales, pour prévenir tout symptôme de carence et pour assurer un niveau d'activité physique normal aux populations rurales comme aux populations urbaines. Alors que les «besoins» d'un individu varient en fonction de son âge, de son sexe, de sa taille, de son poids, etc., la «demande» en nourriture qui tend à satisfaire ces besoins est fonction des disponibilités alimentaires, mais aussi de ses goûts, de son revenu, des prix relatifs, de toute une série de facteurs plus subjectifs. 2, record 1, French, - besoin%20%C3%A9nerg%C3%A9tique
