Abstract
Protein Intake and Weight Loss in Obese Men and Women with Cardiometabolic Risk Factors
Background Despite its popularity, increasing dietary protein appears to have modest effects on weight loss. Furthermore, the proportion of total energy from protein that facilitates weight loss in nutritionist-recommended moderately energy-restricted diets is not clarified. We studied the association between protein intake and weight loss in obese men and women with cardiometabolic risk factors.
