Twenty-four hour energy expenditure (EE). 24 h EE (a) and 24 h EE adjusted for lean body mass (LBM) (b) in response to meals containing 15%E or 30%E protein with a sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) or non-nutritive-sweetened beverage (NNSB) are presented as box and whickers plots with the middle horizontal line representing the median, the box bottom and top representing the 25th to 75th percentiles and the whiskers representing the minimum to maximum values. There were significant main effects of sex and beverage type. Absolute 24 h EE (a) was greater in the males. After adjustment for LBM (b) 24 h EE was greater in the females. 24 h EE was greater after consuming a SSB. There was no significant main effect of protein level nor were there any sex, protein level or beverage type interactions. Items with similar letters are not significant different
