The Claim
High-protein diets are associated with greater satiety compared to high-carbohydrate or high-fat diets in humans, potentially reducing ad libitum energy intake by approximately 441 kcal/day and leading to weight loss of about 4.9 kg over 12 weeks in adults.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating more protein makes you feel fuller than eating lots of carbs or fats, which can help you eat less and lose weight over time.
