ML and EL weight-loss diets resulted in similar weight loss and comparable EE when EI was controlled

(A) Weight loss over the duration of the 4-week weight-loss diets.

(B) EI and TDEE averaged over the 4 weeks of the ML and EL diets.

(C) RMR measured at the end of each dietary phase.

Means were estimated using hierarchical ANOVA (linear mixed models). Values expressed as mean ± SEM. Bars with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). EI, energy intake; EL, evening loaded; ML, morning loaded; RMR, resting metabolic rate; TDEE, total daily energy expenditure.
