Protein range | Dry weight (g) | Total energy | Fat | Carbohydrates | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Full range of protein, %E | −0.14 | <0.0001 | −0.18 | <0.0001 | −0.20 | <0.0001 | −0.59 | <0.0001 |
10%–30% energy a | −0.16 | <0.0001 | −0.20 | <0.0001 | −0.22 | <0.0001 | −0.58 | <0.0001 |
Note: Survey weight applied. An exponent of −1 indicates complete protein prioritization where absolute protein intake remains constant, and carbohydrates and fat differ with the proportion of dietary protein intake.
Abbreviations: NNPAS, National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey; %E, percentage energy.
10%–30% protein indicates the usual variation in human protein intake.
