Egg inclusion
Participants will meet with a registered dietitian and receive instructions for including 2 eggs per day (10 to 14 eggs/week)in their meal plan, while preserving an isocaloric condition relative to the egg exclusion phase. The study dietitian will provide individualized guidance to participants on how to make room for eggs in their diet, while giving them latitude in determining how to adjust for the extra calories from the eggs, to better approximate real-world conditions. Treatment phase will last for 12 weeks.
Egg exclusion
"Participants will meet with the dietitian and receive relevant meal planning guidance and instructions to avoid eggs and specific egg-containing products.~During both intervention phases, study participants will be advised to eat to their usual state of fullness, and dietary monitoring and weighing will be conducted to ensure that an isocaloric condition is maintained. Treatment phase will last for 12 weeks."
