Study Summary

This trial investigates how consuming casein protein before sleep and in the morning affects metabolism compared to consuming protein only at night or a placebo. Protein helps repair the body, promotes growth, and can make you

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals interested in understanding how casein protein affects their metabolism. Participants should be willing to consume casein protein before sleep and in the morning, or a placebo, to compare effects on satiety, metabolic rate, and blood sugar levels.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the impact of consuming casein protein at two different times: before sleeping and upon waking up. It aims to see if this regimen can increase fullness, lower hunger, boost resting metabolism, and reduce blood sugar compared to taking nighttime protein or a placebo alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Casein is generally considered safe but may cause digestive discomfort such as bloating or gas in some people. Those with dairy allergies could experience allergic reactions.

Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: PRO pm, PRO amExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants arrive to the lab, complete 30 mins resting metabolic rate assessment. Then they are provided with a shake to drink 30 mins before bed. They return to the lab the following morning for 30 min RMR, drink another shake and do 30 mins RMR before leaving the lab.
Group II: PRO pm, PLAC amExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants arrive to the lab, complete 30 mins resting metabolic rate assessment. Then they are provided with a shake to drink 30 mins before bed. They return to the lab the following morning for 30 min RMR, drink another shake and do 30 mins RMR before leaving the lab.
Group III: PLAC pm, PRO amExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
