Fig. 1: Energy expenditure (EE) and diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) after breakfast at 0900 h, lunch at 1400 h, and dinner at 1900 h.
From: Diurnal variations of brown fat thermogenesis and fat oxidation in humans

A Total EE per day and total DIT for 15 h after three meals. B DIT expressed as % of energy content of the meal. Black columns, High-BAT group; white columns, Low-BAT group; gray columns, all. Values are mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 between the groups, #P < 0.05 between the meals.
