Selective reduction of ~800 kcal/d of dietary fat results in no change in the 24 hr RQ or fat oxidation rate.
Reducing fat intake alone may not affect metabolic rates or fat oxidation.

In contrast, selective reduction of ~800 kcal/d of dietary fat results in no change in the 24 hr RQ or fat oxidation rate.
Why this rating
Based on the use of a validated computational model.
