Net endogenous acid production (NEAP) estimations for high carbohydrate (HCHO), periodized carbohydrate (PCHO) and low carbohydrate, high fat (LCHF) groups using two equations by Frassetto et al. (NEAPF1, NEAPF2) [25], and one equation by Remer and Manz (NEAPR) [26]. NEAP estimations are provided for baseline and post-testing.
