Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
1. According to a Rutgers University study, eating more protein, when dieting, improves food choices and prevents the loss of lean body mass, which is often connected with weight loss. The data was gathered from more than 200 men and women who took part in clinical studies.
2. The quality of the person's food choices is significantly impacted by even a little increase in protein consumption, from 18% to 20% of their total caloric intake, according to a review of pooled data from many weight-loss trials conducted.
3. Dieters who follow calorie-restricted weight-loss plans often cut down on the consumption of nutritious meals that include micronutrients like iron and zinc. Higher protein intake is often linked to healthier outcomes, but the relationship between protein consumption and diet quality is not well known, according to researchers.
4. Participants' body mass indexes indicated that they were either overweight or obese, and their ages ranged from 24 to 75. Over a six-month period, all participants were counseled to lose weight by following a diet that was 500 calories deficient. They were encouraged to allot 18 percent of their caloric intake to lean protein, such as poultry, unprocessed red meat, fish, legumes, and dairy, and to expend the balance of their calories on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. They were discouraged from ingesting saturated fats, refined grains, sugar, and salt.
5. Participants kept detailed food records, which researchers analyzed for diet quality, specific categories of food consumed and ratios, and specific sources of protein. The participants who self-selected their protein intake were then characterized by researchers into a lower-protein approach with 18 percent of overall calories coming from protein or a higher-protein approach with 20 percent of the overall food intake coming from protein.
6. The study concluded:
- Both low- and high-protein groups lost the same amount of weight about five percent of their body weight over six months.
- Higher-protein group individuals chose a mix of healthier foods to eat overall, specifically increasing their intake of green vegetables and cut back on sugar and refined grains.
- Higher-protein group individuals were better able to retain their lean muscle mass.
