Predictors of individual weight gain1
| Variable | β | 95% CI | P value |
| Initial study period | 0.86 | (0.21, 1.51) | 0.01 |
| MEI/RMR2 | 0.32 | (0.13, 0.52) | <0.01 |
| SEI/RMR2 | 0.24 | (−0.02, 0.50) | 0.07 |
| Physical activity level (TEE/RMR)2 | −0.17 | (−0.39, 0.05) | 0.12 |
| 5.5-h bedtime condition | −0.54 | (−1.26, 0.19) | 0.15 |

MEI, energy intake from meals; SEI, energy intake from snacks; TEE, total energy expenditure; RMR, resting metabolic rate. Results are from a generalized estimating equation model based on 11 subjects with 2 observations each (during the 5.5- and the 8.5-h bedtime conditions).
