We found that RMR, the major component of total daily energy
expenditure, did not increase with the high - protein diets and that
overall weight loss during ad libitum feeding was fully explained by the cumulative reduction in
caloric intake.
Replacing long - chain fats with MCT oil at breakfast suppresses food intake at lunch.9 Longer - term replacement of long - chain fats with MCT oil leads to increased energy
expenditure, 10 and in the context of a weight loss program it leads to greater loss of body weight and body fat.11
Overall, these several studies suggest that replacement of other fats with MCT oil could decrease food intake by forty - five calories per day and increase energy
expenditure by forty - five calories per day, leading to a net
caloric deficit of ninety calories per day.
