Halton TL, Hu FB
Published in Journal of the American College of Nutrition, Vol. 23 (5), pp. 373-85
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
Higher protein intake raised diet-induced thermogenesis and satiety relative to carbohydrate or fat at equal energy intake
