Plant- and insect-based foods are promising alternative protein sources. Previous studies have shown that introducing plant-based foods to the diet can reduce meat intake, but no such intervention has explored the effects of insect-based foods.
This study aims to integrate alternative proteins to main meals of 80 Danish families through a 6-week two-arm randomized intervention trial to investigate acceptance, consumption, and potential for meat replacement. The primary outcome is the replacement of dietary meat protein with plant- or insect-based protein from the intervention foods assessed through change in daily meat protein intake, proportion of meat protein to total protein intake, and counts of dinner meals with meat and intervention products.
The results of this study will contribute to research in alternative proteins and explore the effects of long-term exposure of meat replacement.

植物性和昆虫性食品是很有前途的替代蛋白质来源。先前的研究表明,在饮食中引入植物性食品可以减少肉类摄入量,但尚未有此类干预措施来探索昆虫性食品的影响。
本研究旨在通过为期 6 周的双臂随机干预试验,将替代蛋白质纳入 80 个丹麦家庭的主餐中,以研究接受程度、摄入量和肉类替代的潜力。主要结局是通过日常肉类蛋白质摄入量的变化、肉类蛋白质占总蛋白质摄入量的比例以及每餐含肉和干预产品的次数来评估干预食品中植物性或昆虫性蛋白质替代膳食肉类蛋白质的情况。
本研究的结果将有助于替代蛋白质的研究,并探索长期替代肉类的影响。
