The purpose of this study is to determine energy expenditure and sleep in response to protein/carbohydrate and fat ratio of the diet over a short-term and long-term period of time.
The prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide to epidemic proportions. For long-term treatment success permanent lifestyle changes are necessary with regard to approach to food, physical activity patterns and behavior to emotional stress. Moreover, an association has been shown between sleep disturbance and obesity. Weight loss strategies regarding food intake regulation mainly focused on changing patterns of fat and carbohydrate consumption during the last decades. The role of protein has largely been ignored. However, protein has been observed to increase satiety and energy expenditure to a greater extent than carbohydrate and fat and can therefore reduce energy intake. However, it still has to be confirmed if this effect is permanent or transient over a longer period of time. Moreover, dietary intakes may significantly affect sleep when macronutrient intakes are manipulated. Since sleep deprivation has been recognized as a risk factor for obesity, improving sleep by a change in macronutrient intake would be promising in the treatment of obesity.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
