Macro partitioning
The quality and source of macronutrients (e.g., plant-based proteins, unsaturated fats) are more important for long-term health outcomes than the specific macronutrient ratio (low-carb vs. low-fat).
Don't just count macros; focus on the quality of your food. Replace refined carbohydrates and saturated fats with whole grains, vegetables, nuts, and unsaturated fats. This improves long-term health more than just restricting calories.

More from this paper
- Low-calorie diets (1,000–1,500 kcal/day) are a foundational, guideline-recommended intervention for obesity management, though weight loss plateaus after 6 months.Good
- Time-restricted eating (TRE) improves metabolic markers (insulin sensitivity, blood pressure) and aids weight loss, but its long-term efficacy is not yet fully established.Moderate

- Total daily protein intake of 1.6 g/kg/day is sufficient for maximizing resistance training-induced muscle gains, with an upper confidence interval of 2.2 g/kg/day.Strong
- Resistance exercise training combined with sufficient dietary protein intake acts synergistically to maximize skeletal muscle hypertrophy, with protein intake saturating around 1.6 g/kg/day for general populations and potentially requiring 2.0-2.2 g/kg/day for resistance-trained individuals.Strong
- Trans fats should be completely eliminated from the diet, as they increase LDL cholesterol, decrease HDL cholesterol, and are directly associated with increased coronary risk.Strong
