Eating more protein makes you feel fuller for longer than eating the same amount of carbs or fat, which helps you eat less and manage your weight better.

Eating more protein makes you feel fuller for longer, so you’re less likely to snack or eat too much later.

Whether you eat a high-protein diet with carbs or without carbs, your body burns about the same number of calories — carbs don’t make you burn more energy.

When obese women eat more protein while losing weight, they tend to gain more muscle and lose more fat than when they just eat fewer calories overall.

Some studies show that eating more protein helps people lose more weight and body fat, but not all studies agree on this.

When you eat a high-protein diet with no carbs but lots of fat, you feel less hungry and more full than when you eat the same amount of protein but with some carbs.
