The effects of protein leverage on regulation of energy balance in humans [ 2012 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Charmaine Tam (Principal investigator)

Brief description I am a physiologist focused on the role of dietary protein on excess weight gain. In the proposed study, I will examine energy balance in lean and overweight individuals in response to a 4-day covertly manipulated 10, 15 or 25% protein diet. We will measure effects on hunger using subjective ratings and hormone levels and the affects on energy expenditure including resting metabolic rate, the energy it takes to digest food and physical activity levels.
