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.
