Adherence
A high-protein breakfast (34g) significantly increases subjective satiety and reduces hunger compared to a low-protein breakfast (6g) in young women with overweight, but this does not translate to reduced daily energy intake.
If you switch to a high-protein breakfast, you will likely feel fuller and less hungry in the hours after eating. However, be aware that this feeling of fullness may not automatically lead to eating less food throughout the rest of the day, as this study showed no difference in total daily energy intake.
High protein reported higher satiety compared with low protein (P = 0.02)... Women consuming the HP breakfast reported greater overall satiety compared with those consuming the LP breakfast (P = 0.02)... Specifically, women in the HP group felt more satisfied (P < 0.001) and less hungry (P = 0.009) in the hours following the breakfast meal compared with women in the LP group
Why this rating
