Measured BMR (mean ± SD) versus predicted BMR^a

	Female (n = 118)	Male (n = 66)
BMR vs. body mass
Measured (kJ/day)	5163 ± 737	6457 ± 882**
Predicted (kJ/day)	5650 ± 398	6930 ± 715
BMR vs. fat free mass
Measured (kJ/day)	5163 ± 737*	6457 ± 882**
Predicted (kJ/day)	5039 ± 192	6151 ± 487

^aDifferences between males and females are significant at ^** p < 0.001. Differences between measured and predicted by fat free mass are significant at: ^* p < 0.05; ^** p < 0.001. P-values are obtained from paired-sample t-tests
