Total energy expenditure (TEE) decreased significantly with caloric restriction.
Practitioners should be aware that caloric restriction leads to a significant decrease in total energy expenditure.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
TEE also decreased significantly with CR.
Why this rating
Based on a one-year randomized controlled trial.
