Summary

The overarching aim of this study: To determine the effect of different meal compositions (high- vs. low-fat) on metabolic flexibility as it relates to meal-stimulated change in respiratory quotient (ΔRQ1) and sleep (ΔRQ2) metabolic flexibility, as well as the time course changes in respiratory quotient, RQ (i.e., peak RQ, time to peak RQ, nadir RQ, time to nadir, slope).
