# Swapping Animal Protein for Plant Protein, Not Cutting Protein Overall, Linked to Weight Loss in New Randomized Trial

> A new randomized trial found that swapping animal protein for plant protein, without reducing total protein, was linked to greater weight loss. Intake of plant protein rose by about 14.4 g per day, and animal-concentrated amino acids such as lysine and methionine correlated with weight loss.

## Why it matters

This is a diet-research story with little direct effect on feed markets; at most it hints at slow shifts in human demand for animal protein that would affect meat and feed demand over the long term.
