(a) Postprandial thermogenesis (calculated as the difference between post-meal REE and the baseline, fasting REE), (b) postprandial change in body temperature, and (c) postprandial change in respiratory quotient in young, healthy women after ingestion of high-protein meals vs. high-carbohydrate meals. Values are reported as the mean ± SEM; * denotes significant difference between diets at the meal indicated (p < 0.05); **denotes a trend for difference between diets at the meal indicated (p = 0.082).
