Effect of a 3-day high-fat feeding period on carbohydrate balance and ad libitum energy intake in humans
Objective: A reduction in glycogen after the switch to an isoenergetic high-fat diet (HFD) might promote a compensatory increase in food intake to reestablish carbohydrate balance. We assessed the effect of an isoenergetic switch from a 49%-carbohydrate to 50%-fat diet on nutrient balance and ad lib...

Summary: | Objective:
A reduction in glycogen after the switch to an isoenergetic high-fat diet (HFD) might promote a compensatory increase in food intake to reestablish carbohydrate balance. We assessed the effect of an isoenergetic switch from a 49%-carbohydrate to 50%-fat diet on nutrient balance and
ad libitum
food intake. We hypothesized that carbohydrate balance would be inversely related to
ad libitum
energy intake.
Methods:
In 47 men and 11 women (22.6±0.4 years; 26.1±0.5 kg m
–2
), fuel balance was measured in a respiration chamber over 4 days. During the first day, an isoenergetic, high-carbohydrate diet was provided followed by a 3-day isoenergetic, HFD. At the end of this period and after 16 h of fasting, three options of foods (cookies, fruit salad and turkey sandwich) were offered
ad libitum
for 4 h. The relationships between post-chamber
ad libitum
intake and macronutrient oxidation and balance measured day-to-day and over the 4-day respiration chamber stay were studied.
Results:
After switching to a HFD, 24-h respiratory quotient decreased from 0.87±0.02 to 0.83±0.02 (
