  1. Data are presented at baseline in the protein and the carbohydrate group as mean ± SD. Changes from baseline to end of the intervention are presented as mean changes (± SD). Within-group effects from baseline to end of the intervention were analyzed using a paired sample t test. 1Data on one subject is missing
