JAMA Article on impact of calories vs. protein for weight ga

I think we kinda knew that, but more data to support.

And here is a list of low calorie (fat loss!), high protein (maintain lean mass and BMR!) foods to promote maintenance of lean muscle mass and basal metabolism while losing weight:

Thanks for posting this! I know I have to do more than READ about weight loss, but having this type of information helps me to stay focused, engages my mind, and reminds me that it more than a matter of will power.
