Energy balance
Body fat mass initially increased, while skeletal muscle mass decreased, but this trend was reversed in the high protein group after resistance training.
Practitioners should note the potential for changes in body composition with high protein intake and resistance training.

While body fat mass initially increased from t1 to t2 (0.8 ± 2.3 kg, p = 0.001), skeletal muscle mass decreased (-0.5 ± 1.9 kg, p = 0.025), a trend which was reversed from t2 to t3 only in HP + T group.
