In the Caloric Restriction and High Protein Intervention, participants will be calorie restricted to 30 kcal/kg FFM/day and consume 1.7 g protein/kg BW/day. In the Energy Balance Intervention, participants will consume 55 kcal/kg FFM/day and 1.7 g protein/kg BW/day. In the Caloric Restriction and Normal Protein Intervention, participants will be calorie restricted to 30 kcal/kg FFM/day and consume 0.8 g protein/kg BW/day. In all Interventions, participants will conduct aerobic exercise designed to expend 15 kcal/kg FFM/day. Participants will be provided calcium and vitamin D supplement in order to maintain calcium and Vitamin D intake constant across all study arms. Participants will be provided with maltodextrin to supplement the liquid diet in order to meet caloric needs within each study arm.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and day 6

Population: n = 1 participants had data missing from post-testing in one condition due to equipment failure so their data for the other conditions was removed

Analyzed in L/min rather than mL/kg/min to remove influence of weight loss.
