Figure 2. Higher adjusted 24hEE prior to CR predicted greater fat mass and fat-free mass 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 fat mass regain (panel A) and fat-free mass regain (panel B) after one year of follow-up in free-living conditions.
24hEE, 24-hour energy expenditure; CR, caloric restriction.
