1. Changes in basal metabolic rates (BMR), following alterations in the preceding day's dietary protein (8.6, 11.5 and 14.0% of energy) were studied in eight, young, healthy adults over 4d.

2. Results showed a significant training effect, with BMR values 4.8 % lower on day 4 of the study period. Analysis of the results by ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between subjects and diets (P<0.005), a significant difference between subjects but no differences in BMR due to the protein content of the diets.

3. Mean coefficient of variation (CV) for intra- and inter-individual differences in BMR from day-to-day was of the order of 4 and 9% respectively.

4. Changes in protein content of the preceding day's diet do not influence variations in BMR which appear to be random in nature with a true CV of 3.8%.
