1. Based on natural log-transformed data with values presented as a geometric mean (95% confidence interval (CI)) adjusted for minutes of useable data, n = 15. 2. A total of 95% CI for the percentage difference of the geometric means between the experimental conditions using a condition by time-of-day linear mixed model adjusted for minutes of useable data and condition order. BC was the consumption of a standardised breakfast with an energy content equivalent to 25% of individual resting metabolic rate before 09:00 for seven consecutive days; BO was the abstinence from all energy-providing nutrients until at least 10:30 for seven consecutive days. PAEE, physical activity energy expenditure; PA, physical activity.
