Adjusted Body Weight (AjBW) is a measure used by dietitians and clinicians to estimate a person's energy needs when they are overweight or obese. Because fat tissue is less metabolically active than lean tissue, using actual body weight can overestimate calorie needs. AjBW provides a more accurate figure by adjusting for this difference. It represents a weight somewhere between a person's ideal body weight and their actual body weight.
