Once palatable liquids were removed and the animals had only access to chow for 21 days, energy intake did not differ between groups during this "washout phase" although a slight trend remained (cumulative intake for big eaters: 241.8 ± 14.1 kcal vs small eaters: 221 ± 12.6 kcal; P = 0.160) and neither did body weights (P = 0.605) at decapitation.
