The Impact of Weight Bias and Stigma on Energy Misreporting in 24-Hour Dietary Recalls
… measures of dietary assessment using doubly-labeled water, and 3) explored how weight bias and weight stigma might impact misreporting of energy intake among people with overweight and obesity. Findings include that: 1) weight bias and weight stigma are important issues when working …

High Levels of Total Energy Expenditure in Ultra-Endurance Athletes: Is There Evidence for Constraint?
… trained runners (0 to 78 mi/wk.) using the doubly labeled water technique and PA and sedentary time using a waist mounted triaxial accelerometer during the same 14-day period. We obtained fasting serum (albumin, cortisol, TNFα, C-reactive protein, free testosterone, TSH and T3), plasma …

Measuring and Predicting Total Energy Expenditure Among Highly Active Humans in Natural Environments
… The Allocation Model was tested using doubly labeled water and flex-heart rate measured TEEs of healthy, highly active adults (N=56) participating in National Outdoor Leadership School semester long courses. Two of the semester-long courses took place in both hot and temperate climates …

Estimating the Cost of Locomotion in Common Bottlenose Dolphins: Calibration, Validation, and Application to Study the Impacts of Disturbance
… such as measurements of caloric intake and the doubly labeled water (DLW) method. Calibration studies will help us to better understand how best to estimate energy expenditure from activity measurements. In my dissertation, I ask whether short-term increases in activity caused by disturbance may …

Intersexual Communication, Male Mate Preference, and Reproductive Energetics of the Polygynous Lizard, Anolis Carolinensis
… to determine resting metabolic rates, and the doubly-labeled water technique to determine field metabolic rates in free-ranging lizards. Resting metabolic rates were significantly influenced by body mass and season, but not sex. Field metabolic rates were significantly influenced by body mass, …

Diet, hydration, lifestyle and training practices of elite Kenyan endurance runners
… competition as assessed by the gold standard doubly labeled water method (Energy intake: 13.2 +/- 1.3 MJ/d: vs. Energy expenditure: 14.6 +/- 1.0 MJ/d; p lt; 0.005). Considering the relatively high carbohydrate content of their diet (e.g., 67.3 +/- 7.8 %, 9.8 g/kg/bm) it is hypothesised the …
