The Claim
In adolescents with obesity, a high-energy flux condition (500 kcal surplus achieved through increased energy expenditure via exercise and increased energy intake) reduces relative energy intake at dinner by approximately 35% compared to a low-energy flux condition, indicating improved coupling between energy expenditure and energy intake.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adolescents with obesity, increasing daily physical activity and food intake by 500 calories total leads to a 35% reduction in the amount of food eaten at dinner compared to when energy intake and expenditure are lower, suggesting better alignment between how much energy is used and how much is consumed.

What the research says
1 studyWhen teens with obesity ate more and exercised more to burn extra calories, they ended up eating less at dinner compared to when they didn’t change their habits—showing their bodies got better at sensing when they were full.
