Abstract Background Ghrelin a peptide secreted by endocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract is a hormone purported to have a significant effect on food intake and energy balance in humans. The influence of factors related to energy balance on ghrelin such as daily energy expenditure energy intake and macronutrient intake have not been reported. Secondly the effect of ghrelin on food intake has not been quantified under free-living conditions over a prolonged period of time. To investigate these effects 12 men were provided with an ad libitum cafeteria-style diet for 16 weeks. The macronutrient composition of the diets were covertly modified with drinks containing MJ of predominantly carbohydrate Hi-CHO protein Hi-PRO or fat Hi-FAT . Total energy expenditure was measured for seven days on two separate occasions doubly labeled water and physical .
