The aim of the study is to investigate the postprandial effects of legume-enriched meals compared to Western Diet meals on postprandial metabolism. In this context, older adults with increased risk for cardiometabolic diseases consume 4 mixed meals with 36 g or 62 g of protein either designed according to the Planetary Health Diet with legumes as primary protein source or the Western Diet with animal foods as primary protein source, in a randomized order. In a postprandial observation period of 6 hours, parameters of lipid metabolism, glucose and insulin metabolism, amino acid profile, as well as markers of inflammation and vascular function are analysed. Furthermore, neuropsychological parameters and satiety-associated hormones are investigated.
