Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary purpose of this study is to test different methods of measuring energy balance, including food intake and energy expenditure. Another primary purpose of this study is to see if energy expenditure predicts weight and change after a weight loss diet. A secondary aim will be to test the reliability and validity of the Actical accelerometer, SenseWear Armbands, and the Intelligent Device for Energy Expenditure and Activity (IDEAA) monitors at measuring activity energy expenditure (AEE) and total daily energy expenditure (TEE) against the gold standard, doubly-labeled water (DLW). Similarly, we will test whether the estimated energy expenditure or posture allocation from the 3 devices is associated with weight change during and following a low calorie diet (LCD).
