This empirical study refutes the existence of negative-calorie foods; however such foods will contribute to a negative energy balance, and thus the loss of body mass.

Laughing Alone with Salad: Nutrition-Based Inequity in Women’s Diet and Wellness Media

Nutritionism creates hegemonic norms for eating and defining subjectivity, but this chapter demonstrates the specifically gendered effects of this ideology. Examining how diet and wellness media…

Exploring the myth: Does eating celery result in a negative energy balance?

The aim of the current study is to explore the diet induced thermo-genesis (DIT) associated with celery consumption, which has the potential to add bulk and savour to a meal, without adding excess calories.

The energy expended in chewing gum.

Indirect evidence suggests that gum chewing may have greater metabolic effects than has been appreciated, and how energy expenditure changes with gum chewing in humans is measured.

Specific dynamic action: a review of the postprandial metabolic response

There are innumerable opportunities for research in SDA including coverage of unexplored taxa, investigating the underlying sources, determinants, and the central control of postprandial metabolism, and examining the integration of SDA across other physiological systems.

Which REE prediction equation should we use in normal-weight, overweight and obese women?

The equation of Owen in normal weight, Bernstein in overweight and of Robertson and Reid in obese subjects should be chosen when the authors have to predict REE in young women due to metabolic adaptation occurring during therapeutic or spontaneous energy restriction.

Energy Metabolism: Errors in Gas-Exchange Conversion Factors

When an animal fasts throughout the period of measurement of CO2 production but is presumed to be eating, the error of estimating energy metabolism can be as high as 23% for herbivores; the error increases steadily with the protein content of the diet for ureotelic carnivores.

Determinants of the Postfeeding Metabolic Response of Burmese Pythons, Python molurus

Sit-and-wait-foraging snakes, which consume large meals at long and unpredictable intervals, reduce standard metabolic rate by allowing the energetically expensive small intestine and other associated organs to atrophy between meals but thereby incur a large specific dynamic action while rebuilding those organs upon feeding.

Determinants and modeling of specific dynamic action for the Common Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis)

This work examined the effects of meal size, meal type, and body temperature on the postprandial metabolic re- sponse and SDA of the Eastern Garter Snake and generated predictive models of SDA based on Meal size, body mass, andBody temperature, and separately based on meal energy.

Water, Energy, and Electrolyte Balance in Captive Namib Sand-Dune Lizards (Angolosaurus skoogi)

The presence of a functional salt gland and an efficient urate excretory pathway suggests that this species is capable of handling a far greater electrolyte load than that ingested with its natural diet.
