Study: https://academic.oup.com/jn/article-pdf/131/1/91/24019379/4w010100091.pdf

Energy Macro Percent Usage

Diet	Carbs	Fats	Protein
Normal Diet (P14)	75.9%	9.4%	14.7%
High Protein (P50)	38%	9.4%	52%

Charts show food intake and weight gain was slightly lower in the protein based diet than in the carb based diet.
