Primary outcomes
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) will be measured by indirect calorimetry using a computerized metabolic cart that provides valid and reliable measurement of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production - RMR can be estimated using formulas such as the Mifflin-St Jeor equation: Males: RMR = 10 \* weight (kg) + 6.25 \* height (cm) - 5 \* age (years) + 5 Females: RMR = 10 \* weight (kg) + 6.25 \* height (cm) - 5 \* age (years) - 161
