Study Summary

The purpose of the trial is to assess the effects of combining regular, generous intakes of high quality protein (with substantial amounts provided from whole eggs and egg whites) with calorie restriction on insulin resistance and weight loss (along with function, body composition, racial disparities, and a number of secondary outcomes) in black and white older adults with prediabetes who are participating in a 4-month intervention. The investigators will compare these effects to the same outcomes with a control group consuming a traditional control regimen of calorie restriction over the same duration.

Primary Outcome

Blood glucose and insulin levels in whole blood will be used to compute HOMA-IR (= glucose mg/dL x insulin mg/dL/405)
