What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Resting Metabolic Rate by Indirect Calorimetry	The within-subject coefficient of variation for resting metabolic rate (RMR) will be less than 10%. Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing.	At least 3 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Respiratory Quotient Variation	The within-subject coefficient of variation for respiratory quotient (RQ) will be less than 10%. Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing.	At least 3 days
Sense Wear Mini Armband verses Indirect Calorimetry	The limits of agreement of Sense Wear Mini Armband (SWA)-estimated resting energy expenditure (REE) with indirect calorimetry measures of REE will be large (+ 500 kcal). Testing will occur on non-consecutive days, with a compliance and menstrual cycle questionnaire prior to testing.	At least 3 days
