Objective. We compared the multi-sample and two-sample methods for measuring total energy expenditure (TEE) using doubly labelled water (DLW) in pre-school children to establish whether taking multiple samples provides any advantage in free-living conditions. Methods. Sixty-five children (32 boys; aged 2-6 years) were recruited from Aberdeen, UK. TEE was measured over 7 and 14 days using the multi-point and two-point methods by DLW. Total body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results. There was no significant difference between the mean TEE estimated using the multi-point and two-point methods. Independent of sampling technique, there was no significant difference in the TEE estimated over 7 and 14 days. Correlation of the deviations of the day-to-day enrichments suggests that the major factors driving isotope affected both isotopes. Association between fat-free mass (FFM) and TEE over 14 days was higher when using the multi-point method (r
