Protein Diet
These diet examples are from a series of diets with
the following features: casein-based, isocaloric (3.8 kcal/g) and
matched for fat (5.5%), calcium (0.7%), and phosphorus
(0.54%). There are other diets available from this series of
diets, as well as other unique protein adjusted diets.
Casein is the most widely used refined protein source, but it is
also possible to use other refined protein sources, such as
"vitamin-free" test casein (alcohol extracted), lactalbumin,
isolated soy protein, and egg white solids. These particular
protein sources are usually used to achieve a specific research
objective, rather than for routine use. For instance, vitamin-free
test casein is most appropriately used in vitamin deficient diets,
and egg white solids is most suitable for zinc or biotin deficient
diets.
Adjusted protein diets usually range from "protein-free"
(trace) to 60% protein, depending on the research.
