Free-Living Responses in Energy Balance to Short-Term Overfeeding in Adults Differing in Propensity for Obesity.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Free-living adaptive responses to short-term overfeeding (OF) were explored as predictors of longitudinal weight change in adults classified as having obesity resistance (OR) or obesity proneness (OP) based on self-identification and personal/family weight history.

Methods

Adults identified as OP (n = 21; BMI: 23.8 ± 2.5 kg/m² ) and OR (n = 20; BMI: 20.2 ± 2.1 kg/m² ) completed 3 days of eucaloric feeding (EU; 100% of energy needs) and 3 days of OF (140% of energy needs). Following each condition, adaptive responses in physical activity (PA), total daily energy expenditure, ad libitum energy intake, and energy balance were objectively measured for 3 days in a free-living environment. Body mass and composition were measured annually by using du
