Abstract in brief

  • The study investigates how different types of macronutrients, like polyunsaturated fats (PUFA), monounsaturated fats (MUFA), and carbohydrates, affect testosterone levels in overweight and obese men, finding that fats such as PUFA and MUFA can significantly lower testosterone over several hours.
  • Results showed that consuming meals high in PUFA led to a notable reduction in serum testosterone, with levels dropping by about 32 nmol/L after 1 hour and remaining low up to 5 hours, while carbohydrate-only meals had little impact; egg albumin, however, increased testosterone levels.
  • Based on these findings, men aiming to boost testosterone might consider avoiding high-fat meals, drinking liquids like water or orange juice instead, or fasting, to help maintain or increase testosterone levels.]

A McDonald’s meal of two English muffins (sausage, egg, and cheese) and two hash browns, containing approximately 50 g of total fat, decrease total testosterone levels by 25% for several hours. https://t.co/Jhd1TsQNfo
