Chronic elevation of protein intake above optimal levels for muscle synthesis does not sustainably increase diet-induced thermogenesis, despite acute thermogenic effects.
What the Evidence Shows
We analyzed the available evidence and found that chronically eating more protein than needed for muscle building doesn’t lead to a lasting increase in diet-induced thermogenesis, even though higher protein meals can temporarily boost calorie burning right after eating [1].
