Energy and Nutrient Profiles When Asians Transit From a Meat-based to a Plant-based Diet: A Modelling Exercise

This study aims to model and present a simulation exercise to assess the nutritional effects of replacing meat-based protein with meat analogues. The hypothesis of our study is to understand if any positive or detrimental effects on nutrition and health will ensue, when people replace a meat-based diet with plant-based and alternative protein substitutes.

About this study

A total of up 100 participants (Chinese/Malay/Indian), non-vegetarians, aged between 21 to 99 years, literate and numerate will be recruited for this study. Participants will be required to complete a 4-day food record as part of the exercise. To ensure accuracy of food records, participants will be requested to either weigh their foods or take photographs of all food and drink consumed during the duration of the study. After all the food records have been collected, the data will be analysed using food composition tables. Nutritional profiles of all participants will be generated. Animal-based products will then be substituted with plant-based counterparts and a new nutritional profile will be generated for each participant.
