    Effect of protein intake on diet-induced thermogenesis and energy expenditure: a meta-analysis

    Halton TL, Hu FB

    Published in Journal of the American College of Nutrition

    Methodology

    Meta-analysis of controlled feeding studies comparing high-protein and standard-protein diets on thermogenesis, satiety and weight loss.

    Key Findings

    Higher protein intake raised diet-induced thermogenesis and satiety relative to carbohydrate or fat at equal energy intake.

    Conclusions

    Protein is the most reliable dietary lever on metabolic rate; supplements are secondary.

    Limitations

    Older studies; short feeding periods; variable protein sources.

    Outcomes Measured

    Metabolism Boost

    Higher protein intake raised diet-induced thermogenesis and satiety relative to carbohydrate or fat at equal energy intake
