A new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition compared the effects of two hypo-caloric diets on fat loss and lean muscle in people training regularly; one diet contained double the standard recommended daily protein intake and the other triple the recommended dose. The results were impressive. The group consuming 3x the daily requirements or 2.4g/kg bodyweight daily of protein had the greatest fat loss, as well as lean muscle gains, while consuming a hypo-caloric diet.
