Men Needed for Dietary Research Study
Information about the Diet
If you participate in the Beef Protein Study, you will be required to eat three different diets for three weeks each (for a total of nine weeks). You will have a two week break between each of the three diets, where you will be able to choose the foods that you eat. You will begin by eating a baseline diet that is similar to the normal American diet. After this, you will consume two additional diets, Diets A and B, that will have more protein and less carbohydrate (starch). Diet A and Diet B have different levels of animal fat. For these two diets, you will eat beef several times each day.
The diets are described below:
| Baseline Diet | Diet A | Diet B |
|
13% protein 50% carbohydrate 38% fat including: 15% Saturated Fat, 6% Polyunsaturated Fat |
31% protein 31% carbohydrate 38% fat including: 15% Saturated Fat, 6% Polyunsaturated Fat |
31% protein 31% carbohydrate 38% fat including: 8% Saturated Fat, 6% Polyunsaturated Fat |
