Health claim

Following a 1200-calorie high-protein diet for a full day

Medium risknutrition

Evidence Summary

This claim has not yet been reviewed against the literature.

A 1200-calorie diet is significantly below the recommended daily caloric intake for most adults and may lead to nutrient deficiencies, muscle loss, and metabolic slowdown if followed long-term. The high-protein component may help preserve lean mass but does not offset the risks of such a low-calorie intake.
