The Claim
Consuming a high-protein instant ramen breakfast (20g protein) compared to a standard-protein version (6g protein) does not result in significant differences in postprandial glucose, insulin, ghrelin, GLP-1, or PYY3-36 concentrations in healthy adults, and reduced lunch intake occurs independently of these hormonal responses.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating a high-protein instant ramen breakfast does not change blood sugar, insulin, or hunger hormone levels more than a low-protein version, and people eat less at lunch regardless of these hormone changes.
See the scientific wording
A high-protein instant ramen breakfast (20g protein) does not significantly alter postprandial glucose, insulin, ghrelin, GLP-1, or PYY3-36 levels compared to a standard-protein version (6g protein) in healthy adults, indicating that reduced lunch intake occurs independently of these hormonal signals.
Eating a large volume of food with high protein stretches the stomach and triggers signals from the gut wall that tell the brain to stop eating, even though hunger and fullness hormones stay the same. This causes people to eat less at the next meal without needing changes in insulin, ghrelin, or other hormones.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who ate high-protein ramen for breakfast ate less at lunch, even though their hunger and fullness hormones didn’t change — meaning the reduced eating wasn’t because they felt fuller or hungrier.
