Summary

A study to investigate the effect of a low-ED prescription (consume ≥10 foods ≤ 1.0 kcal/g and ≤ 2 foods ≥ 3.0 kcal/g per day) versus an energy balance prescription (consume a daily energy intake at estimated energy needs for maintenance) on weight loss maintenance.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Low-ED

This condition will be instructed to make food consumption decisions based solely upon the ED of a food. The goal of the ED condition will be to consume at least 10 foods ≤ 1.0 kcal/g (i.e., fruits and vegetables, broth based soups, non-fat yogurts, some legumes, egg substitutes, some white fish, etc.) and no more than 2 foods ≥ 3.0 kcal/g (i.e., crackers, chips, cookies, hard cheeses, hot dogs, salad dressings, etc.) per day.

BEHAVIORAL

Energy Balance

Energy Balance will receive an individualized daily energy goal which will be their measured resting metabolic rate multiplied by a physical activity level (PAL) of 1.12 (men) or 1.14 (women) (low active).
