Abstract in brief

  • Higher quality protein intake, measured by the ratio of essential amino acids (EAA), is linked to lower levels of abdominal fat, while carbohydrate and dietary fat are not significantly related.
  • Consuming quality protein evenly throughout the day and reaching the EAA threshold multiple times is associated with reduced central abdominal fat, which is an important marker for disease and mortality.
  • The study suggests that not just the amount, but the quality and timing of protein consumption, may be key factors in managing abdominal fat and related health risks.]

Protein may be particularly effective in reducing abdominal fat. One study showed that people who ate more and better protein had much less abdominal fat (Source (https://t.co/730RT5lA4A)).
