Meal Patterning on Weight Loss With Changes to Body Comp, Muscle and Metabolic Health
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Body Composition, Beneficial, Paresis, Impaired Glucose Tolerance
In brief
About two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese with likely adverse health consequences. A Moderate weight loss by dieting and exercise is recommended to improve health. We are interested to know whether eating dietary protein at different times of the day influences changes in body composition, muscle and indices of health. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of within-day patterning of dietary protein intake (even vs. skewed) on energy-restriction and resistance training-induced changes in body composition, muscle size, appetite, and clinical health (including blood glucose and blood pressure).
