High Quality Protein for Assisting With Weight Loss

Breakfast is considered as high quality protein diet, but has similar weight, energy, and macronutrients as the active comparator. The details are as follows: weight 291 g,energy 400 kcal, energy density 1.37 kcal/g, carbohydrate 42.9%, fat 35.6%, protein 19.8%, protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) 100, leucine 1.77 g, glycemic load 24, fiber 1.0 g.

Weight loss counseling will be administered by a Registered Dietitian and will utilize information and materials derived from the Evidence Analysis Library (EAL) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND). Topics will include portion control, macronutrient distribution, snacking, eating out, cooking and grocery shopping, as well as behavioral strategies including self-monitoring, motivational interviewing, goal setting, and problem solving.

Participants will have a 1200-1500kcals diet based on each individual's body weight during the study.

Breakfast is considered as low quality protein diet, but has similar weight, energy, and macronutrients as that in experimental group. The details are as follows: weight 293 g, energy 398 kcal, energy density 1.36 kcal/g, carbohydrate 44.8%, fat 35.4%, protein 19.8%, protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) 42, leucine 0.48 g, glycemic load 30.8, fiber 4.4 g.
