theory is simple, and weight loss will occur if energy
intake is less than energy expenditure, it appears to be
very difficult to achieve long-term negative energy balance
(i.e. to promote weight loss) and subsequent energy balance
(i.e. for weight maintenance) in practice. Strategies
to facilitate a reduction in energy intake in the overweight
and obese are needed.
The macronutrient composition of the diet and the
role of eating frequency (EF) have both been implicated
