In plain English

Eating a high-protein breakfast might make people feel a bit fuller during the day, but the evidence isn't strong enough to be sure.

See the scientific wording

In healthy young professionals (n=13), a 350-kcal high-protein breakfast tends to increase daily fullness compared to skipping breakfast, though this effect did not reach statistical significance (p=0.067), indicating a possible but uncertain satiety benefit.
