As you become leaner you may need to dial in
your overall energy intake by focusing on leaner protein sources to ensure you get the protein you need without excess energy.
For long - term dieting, finding your maintenance calories is a natural starting point; and from there you can decrease
overall energy intake by up to 30 %.
Some studies have shown that eating meals that are made up of 30 % protein can reduce
overall energy intake by 441 kcal [12].
For example, one study has determined that a bigger portion may increase
your overall energy intake by 30 % — and that's a lot.

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.
The decrease in insulin AUC to baseline values after 12 wk of the ad libitum high - protein diet most likely reflects a decrease in the stimulus for insulin secretion resulting from the
overall decrease in
energy intake by this point in the study.
By increasing our appetite and
overall energy intake, our body chases two separate goals.
Overall,
energy intakes generally range between 3,000 — 4,500 kcal (Slater & Phillips, 2011; Storey & Smith, 2012), which are exactly within the range of recommended

by Rogozkin (2000).

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.
