Diet study tests if changing daily calories beats a fixed target

NCT ID NCT02736669

Summary

This study tested which of two diet coaching methods works better for weight loss. Over 200 overweight adults followed a program that either gave them a fixed daily calorie goal or a goal that changed from day to day. Researchers measured weight loss, body composition, and how participants felt about the diet plans to see which approach was more effective and easier to stick with.
