Energy balance
The trajectory of percent weight change during caloric restriction can be modeled using simple nonlinear functions based on age, total daily energy expenditure, percent caloric restriction, and sex.
Counselors can tailor weight loss expectations based on individual characteristics.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The trajectory of percent weight change was predicted by a nonlinear function of age, TDEE, %CR, and sex.
Why this rating
The study design supports the modeling of weight change based on measured variables.
