Energy balance
Overemphasis on protein supplementation could detract from achieving energy balance through mixed-macronutrient sources.
Practitioners should ensure a balanced intake of macronutrients rather than focusing solely on protein.
StrongQualifiesmedium confidence
These findings suggest that supplementation may be unnecessary in most real-world contexts and that overemphasis on protein could detract from the critical goal of achieving energy balance by consuming enough energy from mixed-macronutrient sources.
Why this rating
Based on the implications drawn from the findings discussed in the abstract.
