  3. 2 Number of participants.
  4. 3 Probability of means being different by T test.
  5. 4 Lean (body fat/height2<6 kg/m2) and overweight (%body fat/height2≥6 kg/m2).
  6. 5 Mean of 4 days (2 weekdays, Saturday and Sunday).
  7. 6 Estimated in 31 (19 lean having %body fat<20% and 12 overweight having %body fat≥20%) participants.
  8. 7 Standard Deviation.
