Data are shown as mean ± standard deviations, with minimum and maximum in parentheses. Comparisons were performed using mixed models to account for repeated measures using a compound symmetry covariance structure and including the variables age, race, sex, percentage body fat, SPA, and diet. P values were corrected for multiple comparisons using the Tukey-Kramer method. Diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) was calculated by subtracting fasting 24hEE from 24hEE during feeding. TEF% was calculated by dividing DIT by energy consumed in kcal and expressing the result as a percentage. Food quotient was calculated as follows: food quotient = [1.0 × (% carbohydrate / 100)] + [0.707 × (% fat / 100)] + [0.80 × (% protein / 100)]. Overfeeding (OF) diets, given for 24 hours and as 200% of energy requirements, had the following macronutrient compositions: standard diet (n = 64) included 50% carbohydrate (CHO), 30% fat, and 20% protein; high-CHO diet (n = 63) included 75% CHO, 5% fat, and 20% protein; high-fat diet (n = 63) included 20% CHO, 60% fat, and 20% protein; and low-protein diet (n = 62) included 51% CHO, 46% fat, and 3% protein.
