Adherence
Overweight and obese individuals significantly under-report their energy intake more than lean individuals, with under-reporting estimated at 39% higher in obese men and 57% higher in obese women compared to their lean counterparts.
Be aware that dietary self-reports from overweight and obese individuals tend to underestimate actual calorie intake significantly more than those from lean individuals. When using self-reported data for health assessments, apply corrections for under-reporting based on BMI and activity level to avoid misjudging energy balance.
UR was higher in overweight and obese men and women compared with their lean counterparts (P,0·001)... estimated UR as percentage of energy needs being 39 % and 57 % higher in obese men and women respectively compared with their lean counterparts.
Why this rating
Large sample size and statistically significant p-values (P<0.001) across multiple analyses.
