fat, and 50 % carbohydrate) for 2 wk, an
isocaloric diet (30 % protein, 20 %

fat, and 50 % carbohydrate) for 12 wk.

The
isocaloric (similar calorie composition)
diets were: very low

Rats fed
isocaloric diets in which the
fat source was varied among three groups — a beef tallow group (primarily saturated
fat, 3 % PUFA), an olive oil group (primarily unsaturated, 10 - 15 % PUFA), and a safflower oil group (78 % PUFA)-- had highly variable weight gains.
In a high quality seven day, randomized, crossover study conducted by Sunehag et al. (2002), twelve healthy, non-obese adolescents (six males, six females) were maintained at home on prepared,
isocaloric diets containing 60 % carbohydrate, 25 %
fat, and 15 % protein, with 10 % or 40 % of the carbohydrate (6 or 24 % of dietary energy) content provided by fructose (low fructose or high fructose
diet, respectively)... The total amounts of fructose ingested in the low and high fructose
diets were estimated to be 36 and 133 g / day in females and 40 and 136 g / day in males.
