basal energy expenditure (BEE).

See basal metabolic rate.

The amount of oxygen consumed while resting and fasting, extrapolated to 24 hrs, roughly equivalent to 25 kcal/kg; BEE is used to determine an individual's caloric needs; BEE is multipled by level of activity–eg, 1.2 for bed rest; 1.4 for moderate activity and by an injury factor–1.2 for pneumonia, surgery, 1.3 for major injury, 1.5–1.6 for severe sepsis. See Basal metabolic rate.
