BMI—body mass index; FFM—free-fat mass; FM—fat mass; REE—resting energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry: REE-HB—resting energy expenditure estimated by Harris–Benedict equation; REE-Marra—resting energy expenditure estimated by Marra equation. In bold the difference between measured REE and estimated ones.
