*2.2. Food Intake and Physical Activity*

Food Frequency Questionnaire data show no difference in energy and macronutrient intake between groups at the baseline and after the 12-week intervention. The mean reduction in daily energy intake of the brown seaweed group was similar to that of the placebo group (*p* = 0.90). With regards to physical activity, no difference within and between groups was observed (Supplementary Table S2).
