    It likely means nothing.

    If you are wondering whether this could be diet related... There is some research suggesting that fewer calories (3%) are "wasted" when eating fat (the studies compared isocaloric single meals of fat, protein and carbohydrate). But then, the same studies are also suggesting that protein meals "waste" more calories (20%). And if you do the math (you can do it yourself... use 5% for carbohydrate) and compare the macronutrient breakdown on Atkins with the macronutrient breakdown recommended by the food pyramid, you'll see that the energy "wasted" is more or less the same on both, assuming you are eating the same number of total calories. Of course, it does not mean the numbers are necessarily correct for mixed meals...
