Research Question:
Eating calcium increases probably the fat loss in the body during energy restriction. Part of this effect can be explained by an increased fat burning in the presence of a similar energy balance, but it does not give a conclusive answer scientific studies. Therefore, a meta-analysis carried out to determine whether a chronic or acute high calcium intake promotes fat burning.
Is there a relationship between calcium intake and fat burning?
Study Design:
The random-effects model and the standardized mean difference were used to the relationship between calcium intake and fat burning display.
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that a high calcium intake fat burning, chronic (FAT oxidation) significantly increased by 11%. The standardized mean difference was 0.42 [95% CI = 0.14-0.69, P = 0.003]. Significant is, the increased fat burning was with 95% reliability due to a high, chronic calcium intake.
The researchers found that a high calcium intake, acute fat burning (FAT oxidation) significantly increased by 11%. The standardized mean difference was 0.41 [95% CI = 0.04-0.77, P = 0.03] but the sensitivity analysis showed that this effect was quite weak. Other said, it was not yet to say for sure whether a high calcium intake, acute fat burning really increased.
The researchers concluded that a high calcium intake increased fat burning, chronic but that more research is needed into the relationship between a high calcium intake, acute and fat burning.

A high fat burning is conveniently when following a diet which aims to lose weight. Strength training can increase fat burning.
