A total of 69 client records were collected retrospectively from a 25 week commercial weight loss program that restricted calories to 90% of measured REE. Data analyzed included total body mass (TBM), fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) from air displacement plethysmography; measured REE from indirect calorimetry; and predicted REE from linear regression. From baseline to week 25, there were significant declines in TBM (95.0 ± 24.1 kg to 87.2 ± 22.9 kg; P 0.001) and FM (47.5 ± 18.5 kg to 39.9 ± 17.6 kg; P 0.001). During the same time period, FFM remained unchanged (47.5 ± 7.3 kg to 47.2 ± 7.0 kg; P ≥ 0.05). REE was signify- cantly lower at weeks 13 (6595.2 ± 1312.1 kJ) and 25 (6608.2 ± 1404.6 kJ) compared to baseline (7117.4 ± 1471.5 kJ
