The Impact of a High Protein Diet on Substrate Oxidation and Energy Metabolism

The High-Protein Diet Group will receive a eucaloric diet composed of 35% of carbohydrate, 40% of protein, and 25% of lipid constructed around a soy protein-based meal replacement (Almased®) for one and a half day. Participants will consume 1 gram ± 0.1 of Almased® per kg of body weight mixed with linseed oil and skim milk in their breakfast, lunch and dinner. Two snacks (afternoon and evening) composed of 1 gram ± 0.1 of Almased® per kg of body weight mixed with vegetable juice and linseed oil will also be provided.
