Ad libitum mean daily energy intake was 4061±1084 (kcal/d) following WM, and 3926±1284 (kcal/d) following OF. There was no difference in mean of daily energy intake (p = 0.4) between WM vs. OF. A decline in energy intake over 3 day ad libitum food intake period following OF is noted, but the trend was not significant (p = 0.9). <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0036225#pone-0036225-g002" target="_blank">Fig. 2B</a>. Mean of daily carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake were 484±126 (g/d), 138±42 (g/d), 183±61 (g/d) following WM, and 477±156 (g/d), 129±45 (g/d), and 173±74 (g/d) following OF. No difference was found in carbohydrate (p = 0.7), protein (p = 0.2) or fat (p = 0.3) intake between WM vs. OF. All data are means ± SD. Paired t-test was used to analyze differences between diets.
