0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio.
0:17.0	This is episode 406 of the podcast. My name is Danny Lennon and of course here with me is Alan Flanagan.
0:26.1	Alan, how are you, sir? I am bathed in a sea of fat.
0:33.6	Their god is sort of just drenched in fat. As I've been telling Alan, I've been playing around with a soundboard here and I've been having way too much fun.
0:42.4	We're a quote shot.
0:45.0	So apologies for anyone if I'm going to wreck their head with these random things.
0:50.3	But in terms of my greeting to you, I also will say, I wish you a sea of fat. I hope that you are say I wish you a sea of fat I hope that you
0:55.6	are engulfed in a sea of fat thank you we're a coach yeah yeah how are things how is life
1:03.0	things things are things are good I think I was telling I think we talked about it briefly before
1:08.6	but based on our energy expenditure data from a lab study we did in 2019, our postdoc, Dr. Leonie Ruddick Collins, who's just fantastic, built a model to try and account for circadian variation in resting metabolic rate, right?

1:56.0	So yeah, it's a really interesting kind of way of trying to think about this because you
2:04.2	often will get studies that show this quite pronounced difference, suppose a difference between
2:10.1	the thermic effect of feeding in response to breakfast versus dinner.
2:13.2	And actually that method of calculating that shows that may actually be more of a kind of what
2:19.4	you're seeing as an artifact really of a kind of mathematical error in actually calculating
2:24.7	tests.
2:25.7	So that, yeah, it's still in that accepted manuscript form, which I actually can't stand looking
2:32.9	at papers when accepted manuscript is like plastered
