Eating to Burn Fat (June 2009)

Research has shown that bodies of overweight people don’t burn fat as efficiently as those of thin people, but a new study found that eating high-protein breakfast and lunch may level the playing field. Protein-packed meals seemed to boost the fat-burning capacity in obese individuals. The opposite effect was seen in lean people, in whom fat storage was more likely after a high-protein meal.
