Average protein intake in grams per kilogram of body weight and gram per kilogram of Lean Body Mass (LBM) during the intervention.

	NORM	LCHF	NORM-EX	LCHF-EX	NORM vs. LCHF	NORM vs. NORM-EX	LCHF vs. LCHF-EX	NORM-EX vs. LCHF-EX
Protein Intake					Between Group Differences (p-Values)
Protein g∙kg−1	0.9 ± 0.1	1.0 ± 0.1	0.9 ± 0.1	1.1 ± 0.1	<0.001	0.994	0.803	<0.001
Protein g∙kg LBM−1	1.6 ± 0.2	1.9 ± 0.2	1.5 ± 0.2	2.0 ± 0.2	<0.001	0.432	0.216	<0.001

Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Between-group differences were assessed using t-test with unequal variances. Significant values are presented with bold numbers. NORM: normal diet, LCHF: low-carbohydrate high-fat diet, NORM-EX: normal diet combined with exercise, LCHF-EX: low-carbohydrate high-fat diet combined with exercise, LBM: lean body mass.
