Effect of phosphorus supplementation on diet induced thermogenesis of high protein-low phosphorus meal

Diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) of proteins is known to be higher than that of carbohydrates and fats (1). Proteins contain high quantity of phosphorus that is required for energy production in the form ATP, which is a major contributor to DIT. However, it is not clear whether DIT of proteins is affected by their content of phosphorus. Thus, a study was conducted to explore the impact of phosphorus on DIT of protein using a low phosphorus containing protein, egg white.
