The amount of calories in the shake will be equivalent to 30% of each participant's calculated energy expenditure. The macronutrient composition of the shake as a percent of energy will be: 45% fat, 40% carbohydrate and 15% protein. The shake will contain palm fat, frozen fruit, glucose polymer, and protein powder.

The macronutrient composition of the shake as a percent of energy will be: 45% fat, 40% carbohydrate and 15% protein. The shake will contain palm fat, frozen fruit, glucose polymer, and BPC50, a dairy fraction rich in milk fat globule membrane proteins and phospholipids. Fifty percent of the shake's fat will be derived from BPC50.
