Impact of Protein Content of Ultraprocessed Foods on the Regulation of Energy Balance
October 11, 2023 updated by: Prof. Dr. Dr. Anja Bosy-Westphal, University of Kiel
Impact of Protein Content of Ultraprocessed Foods on the Regulation of Energy Balance (ad Libitum Energy Intake and Energy Expenditure)
Aim of the study is to investigate the effects of high-protein, ultraprocessed foods on the regulation of energy balance in a metabolic chamber.
The primary outcome parameter of the study is the energy balance (ad libitum energy intake and energy expenditure).

Detailed Description
Each of the two study weeks starts with a 3-day run-in period with controlled diet at home, following 48 hours in a metabolic chamber. On the day the participants leave the metabolic chamber, they keep a food record over the rest of the day at home.
- week: meals containing 30 % protein (80 % ultraprocessed high-protein foods), physical activity level (PAL) 1.45, 2 intervention days in the metabolic chamber: ad libitum energy intake
- week: meals containing 13 % protein (80 % ultraprocessed foods with moderate protein content), physical activity level (PAL) 1.45, 2 intervention days in the metabolic chamber: ad libitum energy intake

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: dietary intervention, high protein diet
commercially available high protein ultraprocessed food items (30% protein content), cross-over design, all subjects receive all interventions
|
48 hours intervention with a 'high protein' ad libitum diet (30 % protein; 80 % commercially available ultraprocessed foods) to measure energy balance in a metabolic chamber at physical activity level of 1.45
|
Active Comparator: dietary intervention, moderate protein diet
commercially available moderate protein ultraprocessed food items (13% protein content), cross-over design, all subjects receive all interventions
|
48 hours intervention with a 'moderate protein' ad libitum diet (13 % protein; 80 % commercially available ultraprocessed foods) to measure energy balance in a metabolic chamber at physical activity level of 1.45
