case_images: Table 3 shows example foods and drinks offered by the two menus and Figure 1 shows energy and macronutrient provision over the 14-week period. Carbohydrate intake underwent the greatest manipulation over the 14-week period to accommodate the target energy intake (Figure 1).

case_images: There was a reduction in RMR over the course of the preparation period, which is consistent with previous reports that have shown a decline in RMR during periods of caloric restriction (Figure 4).

case_images: These positive outcomes were reflected in the BRUMS assessment, which showed anger, confusion, depression, fatigue and tension all remained below average at the end of the intervention, whilst fatigue increased slightly from Baseline to Week 13 but remained below average (Figure 5).
