From 1 activPAL and 2 ActiGraph activity monitors where the 1 h pre- and 3 h post-meal periods were analysed as a percentage of valid wear time. MVPA, moderate vigorous physical activity. Data are mean ± SD; using LMM analysis, significantly different (p < 0.05); # compared to habitual within condition; L compared to lunch within trial; D compared to dinner within trial.
