Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Resting Metabolic Rate by Indirect Calorimetry

Time frame: At least 3 days

The within-subject coefficient of variation for resting metabolic rate (RMR) will be less than 10%. Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing.

Secondary outcomes

Respiratory Quotient Variation

Time frame: At least 3 days

The within-subject coefficient of variation for respiratory quotient (RQ) will be less than 10%. Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing.
Sense Wear Mini Armband verses Indirect Calorimetry

Time frame: At least 3 days

The limits of agreement of Sense Wear Mini Armband (SWA)-estimated resting energy expenditure (REE) with indirect calorimetry measures of REE will be large (+ 500 kcal). Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing.
