<![CDATA[Obesity is a global health challenge that seriously affects developing countries, including Indonesia. It is important to discover the energy balance calculated from energy intake and energy expenditure in obese individuals, especially in obese healthcare workers. This study aimed to analyze the balance of energy intake and expenditure, body composition, and physical activity level in obese healthcare workers at the Exercise Center of Indonesia Medical Education and Research Institute (IMERI FKUI). A cross-sectional study was held at Exercise Center IMERI FKUI. Total sampling was the sampling method utilized in the study. Study participants (aged above 18 years) were screened by measuring body composition, and obesity status was determined based on BMI data (≥25 kg/m2 ). The selected subjects were then administered for data collection on body composition using the multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA) instrument, energy intake using the MyFitnessPal (MFP) application, as well as energy expenditure and physical activity level using the IPAQ-SF tool. From a total of 12 obese healthcare workers at the Exercise Center, 11 (91.67%) participants had a negative energy balance, and 1 (8.33%) participant had a positive energy balance during a 7-day period of data collection. In addition, the average body composition components and physical activity levels vary between men and women participants. Overall, a majority of the obese healthcare workers at the Exercise Center reported a negative energy balance.]]>
