Interventions

  • Lean Pork vs Plant-Based Protein — OTHER
    Participants will eat prepared study meals for three days that have either protein sourced from lean pork or plant-based sources.

Study Details

We will be directly comparing a high-quality protein diet composed primarily of lean pork loin (PORK) to a lower-quality plant-based protein diet (PLANT) in individuals with prediabetes on muscle and whole-body protein turnover and glucose regulation.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: High Quality Protein Intake - Lean Pork
    Meal patterns will mimic a standard American diet (50% carbohydrate, 15% protein, 35% fat), providing an isonitrogenous 0.8 g/kg/d protein, and meeting individual estimated daily energy requirements. We have chosen 0.8 g/kg/d as it is the recommend dietary allowance for protein in the US. This arm's protein source will be from lean pork.
  • Active Comparator: Low Quality Protein Intake - Plant-Based
    Meal patterns will mimic a standard American diet (50% carbohydrate, 15% protein, 35% fat), providing an isonitrogenous 0.8 g/kg/d protein, and meeting individual estimated daily energy requirements. We have chosen 0.8 g/kg/d as it is the recommend dietary allowance for protein in the US. This arm's protein source will be from plant-based protein (ie impossible burger, black bean burger, soy, etc).
