Abstract

Weight loss results from a negative energy balance, when energy intake (EI) is less than energy expended, e.g., from physical activity (PA). However, PA may impact energy balance beyond energy expenditure alone, through indirect effects on eating behavior. Yet, no research has examined if engaging in PA-a central component of most weight loss programs-is associated with same-day EI among individuals with overweight/obesity pursuing weight loss. Adults ( = 101) with overweight/obesity in a weight loss program were prescribed a reduced-calorie diet and PA regimen (250 min of moderate-to-vigorous PA at midtreatment). For 3 weeks at midtreatment, PA and EI were measured via an accelerometer and self-monitoring app, respectively. Multilevel models examined within-person relations between PA and EI preceding PA ("pre-PA"), acutely following PA ("acute post-PA," the 2 hr following PA), in the time following the acute post-PA period ("remaining time in day"), and across entire PA days ("full-day"), relative to non-PA matched time periods. EI was higher in the pre-PA and acute post-PA periods. There were no reliable differences in EI during the remaining time in day nor across the full-day on PA days versus within-subject matched non-PA days. There also was insufficient evidence to suggest EI pre-PA, post-PA, or across entire PA days, relative to non-PA matched time periods, was associated with percent weight change. Findings suggest that engaging in PA was associated with different within-person EI patterns compared to non-PA days, though there was little evidence to support that these patterns relate to weight change.
