Figure 2

Model behavior compared to predictive equation used by Keys. Upper panel shows observed values for body mass (closed diamonds), values predicted by the Keys equation (open triangles), and results of fitting the data to a monoexponential approach to steady state (open squares). Lower panel shows solutions for fat mass (open triangles), fat free mass (open circles), calculated body mass (open squares) and observed body mass (filled diamonds) over 24 weeks of partial fasting.
