The authors wish to stress, the finding that high-protein diets decreased testosterone, was based on studies using very-high protein intakes, that far exceed the general population’s and vast majority of athletes. In fact, it is more accurate to state ‘very-high protein diets may decrease testosterone’ rather than ‘high-protein diets may decrease testosterone’. For further clarification on this issue, please see the commentary of this systematic review [Whittaker (2022) High-protein diets and testosterone, Nutrition and Health. DOI: 10.1177/02601060221132922].
