Protein & Satiety

Protein is the most filling macronutrient. Including it at each meal helps control hunger and preserves muscle while you lose fat.

How Protein Keeps You Full

• Slows digestion and keeps blood sugar steady.
• Triggers satiety hormones that signal your brain you've eaten enough.
• Requires more energy to digest than carbs or fat.

Easy Protein Sources

• Eggs or egg whites
• Chicken, turkey or lean beef
• Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
• Beans and lentils

Build meals around protein first, then add vegetables, carbs and fats to suit your calories and taste.
