A meta-analysis demonstrates that whey protein supplementation improves body composition by increasing lean mass, particularly when combined with energy restriction.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that the human body can build muscle while losing body fat (body recomposition). Multiple studies (e.g., papers 0, 1, 2, 7, and 10) document concurrent improvements in lean mass/muscle size and reductions in body fat or fat mass when subjects undergo resistance training, specific therapies, or energy restriction paired with adequate protein intake. There is no evidence refuting this capability.
