Rate and extent of compensatory changes in energy intake and expenditure in response to altered exercise and diet composition in humans

We assessed the effect of no exercise (Nex; control) and high exercise level (Hex; approximately 4 MJ/day) and two dietary manipulations [a high-fat diet (HF; 50% of energy, 700 kJ/100 g) and low-fat diet (LF; 20% of energy, 300 kJ/100 g)] on compensatory changes in energy intake (EI) and energy expenditure (EE) over 7-day periods. Eight lean men were each studied four times in a 2 x 2 randomized design. EI was directly quantified by weight of...
