Dietary composition affects body composition; the role of fat and carbohydrates is well documented (1,2). Proteins are more satiating than carbohydrates, may produce different effects on glycemia (2), and are more thermogenic (1). Indeed the efficiency of cellular conversion of energy to high-energy yielding phosphate bonds from fatty acids is 90%, from carbohydrates 75%, but only 55% for amino acids (3). High-protein diets produced greater weight loss in some studies of obese humans (4,5) but not others (6). Other human studies found that although the high-protein diet did not promote weight loss in excess of control diets, it did preserve lean tissue mass (7) and promoted the loss of fat tissue (8). Companion animals also suffer from obesity (9), and a highprotein, energy-restricted diet was successful in reducing the body weight and body fat of overweight dogs (10) and cats (11), and in conserving lean body mass of dogs (12). However, there have been few studies of the effects of protein intake on the body composition in normal-weight individuals of any species. The current study aimed to determine the effect of a limited energy intake of a high-protein diet on the body composition and least observed metabolism (LOM) of adult neutered cats.
