Fasting Leptin Is a Metabolic Determinant of Food Reward in Overweight and Obese Individuals during Chronic Aerobic Exercise Training

Table 2

Changes in food intake, explicit liking, and implicit wanting for high fat versus low fat foods during the 12-week exercise intervention (𝑛=46).

	Baseline	Week six	Postintervention	Delta Δ	𝑃 value
Total daily EI (kcal·day^−1)	2949.29 (79.15)	2877.24 (92.77)	2892.81 (88.11)	−56.48 (60.15)	0.438
Explicit liking; (appeal bias score)	−0.20 (2.25)	−1.08 (2.16)	−0.85 (2.02)	−0.65 ( 1.72)	0.919
Implicit wanting; (appeal bias score)	1.10 (4.18)	−2.56 (4.47)	−3.17 (3.98)	−4.27 (2.58)	0.114

EI: energy intake; Delta Δ: baseline to postintervention change. Positive appeal bias score = preference for high fat foods > low fat foods. Negative appeal bias score = preference for low foods > high fat foods.
