Summary

This study examines why some individuals with obesity have difficulty losing weight, whereas some lean individuals struggle to gain weight. The investigators will measure how the human body uses energy during a fasting period and after consumption of a specially designed, low-protein meal. By comparing these responses, the investigators aim to identify different "metabolic phenotypes" that affect weight control. Findings from this research may lead to more personalized treatments for managing weight. Participation in this study involves simple tests and basic body measurements.
