Contrary to the Conclusions Stated in the Paper, Only Dry Fat-Free Mass Was Different between Groups upon Reanalysis. Comment on: "Intermittent Energy Restriction Attenuates the Loss of Fat-Free Mass in Resistance Trained Individuals. A Randomized Controlled Trial"

Jackson Peos et al. J Funct Morphol Kinesiol. .

Abstract

Campbell and colleagues recently published a randomised controlled trial investigating the effects of diets involving intermittent energy restriction versus continuous energy restriction on changes in body composition and resting metabolic rate (RMR) in resistance-trained adults[...].

Keywords: athlete; caloric restriction; diet; diet break; fat loss; lean mass; nutrition; refeed; resting energy expenditure; resting metabolic rate; sports nutrition; weight loss.
