Average amount of total energy (height of total bar) and macronutrients (Carbohydrate: ; Fat: ; Protein: ; portions of the total bar) consumed (in kcal) throughout the experimental days. The two-hour ‘activity blocks’ occurred between 0 and 2 h and between 4 and 6 h, although during the Sedentary condition the participants were inactive during these blocks. During these time periods, participants wore an oxygen uptake measurement system and had their energy expenditure assessed. Breakfast and dinner were consumed outside of the environmental chamber with all other food consumed throughout the 8-h in the chamber. Dietary consumption is displayed in 30 min increments throughout the 8 h inside the chamber. * indicates that amount of energy and macronutrients consumed was significantly different from all time points except for Breakfast and Dinner p < 0.05. # indicates that that amount of energy and macronutrients consumed was significantly different from 0 to 0.5 h, 0.5–1 h, 1–1.5 h, and 4–4.5 h p < 0.05. Data are presented as means. SEM is shown for total energy intake only
