To evaluate this suggestion, we first reexamined the differences between our weight-stabilized estimate of energy requirements and baseline energy expenditure, and found that they did not differ significantly between diet groups (low protein diet: −83 kcal/d [95% CI, −411 to 243 kcal/d]; normal protein diet: 177 kcal/d [95% CI, −146 to 503 kcal/d]; and high protein diet: 273 kcal/d [95% CI, −165 to 711 kcal/d]; P = .28), but cumulatively the low protein diet group ingested less total energy than the normal or high protein diet groups (low protein diet: 46 190 kcal [95% CI, 30 742 to 51 364 kcal]; normal protein diet: 54 819 kcal [95% CI, 47 527 to 62 111 kcal]; high protein diet: 50 666 kcal [95% CI, 43 200 to 58 131 kcal]; P = .13).
