High-Protein Meals Can Help the Overweight Burn Fat

Higher-protein meals may help overweight and obese people burn more fat.

A new study found that overweight men and women burned more post-meal fat when

they

ate a high-protein breakfast and lunch than when they had lower-protein meals.

The added

protein seemed to modify the fat-burning deficit seen in heavy individuals.

A number of studies have suggested that high-protein diets may help people shed

weight

more easily.
