Figure 1. Higher adjusted 24hEE prior to CR, but not CR-induced losses in FFM and FM, predicted greater weight regain one year after 6-week inpatient CR.

Positive associations between adjusted 24hEE during energy balance and weight stability prior to 6-week inpatient CR with 50% of weight-maintaining energy needs and subsequent weight regain (panel A), and monthly rate of weight regain after one year of follow-up in free-living conditions (panel B).
Lack of associations between loss in fat mass after 6-week inpatient CR and 1-year weight regain (panel C), and monthly rate of weight regain after one year of follow-up (panel D).
Lack of associations between loss in fat-free mass after 6-week inpatient CR and 1-year weight regain (panel E), and monthly rate of weight regain after one year of follow-up (panel F).
24hEE, 24-hour energy expenditure; CR, caloric restriction.
