Multivariate regression analysis was used to assess the predictors of 24hEE using FFM and FM as independent variables. Adjusted 24hEE was calculated in all 11 subjects by adding their average unadjusted 24hEE to the residual values obtained by regression analysis.

Individuals with high/low 24hEE were arbitrarily defined as those with higher/lower-than-median (2446 kcal/day) adjusted 24hEE prior to CR, respectively. Unpaired t-test was used to compare between-group differences. Significant differences between both groups are denoted with (*).
