A man weighing 100 kg, with 65 kg of fat-free mass (FFM ), goes on a diet and loses 10 kg of body weight, of which 5 kg of the weight loss is FFM. His resting metabolic rate before weight loss is 2000 kcal/day. His resting metabolic rate after weight loss is 1500 kcal/day. Calculate the amount of "metabolic adaptation" (adaptive thermogenesis) that occurred-in kcal/day. Enter your answer as one number.
