Interesting sounding, but the description of the study made it unclear
to me what was really happening.

How did they add the extra protein? Were they eating packaged foods
supplied by the study as happens in some nutritional studies? Were
they eating whatever they wanted?


If you follow the link at the bottom of the page labelled full text, you
get answers to most of your questions:

(quote)
To one of the groups, 48.2 g additional protein/day was provided as one
sachet of a meal replacer (Modifast)/day (17 g protein; 0.7 MJ/day) plus
two sachets of protein (31.2 g; protein source Ca-caseinate; 0.5 MJ/day),
to be dissolved in water resulting in two vanilla-drinks. This amounted
together to 1.2 MJ/day. Subjects were required to consume the meal replacer
and one protein drink as part of their ad libitum lunch, and one protein
drink in the afternoon. This way we aimed at an EI of 18-20 percentage
energy from protein/day. Although the treatment with respect to number of
visits, measurements, and attention was identical in both groups of
subjects, there was no placebo used for the additional protein, similar to
previous meal-replacement studies.28 We included the measurements of
dietary restraint to check whether additional protein to the diet would
affect attitude toward eating.
