This advice is solidly supported by current scientific consensus. Numerous meta-analyses, notably those published in journals such as the 'Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition', confirm that adequate protein intake supports the preservation of muscle mass while facilitating fat mass loss, particularly during a caloric deficit. Research shows that proteins increase satiety and have a higher thermic effect than other macronutrients. The link between protein and body composition is not an exaggeration, but a fact well-documented by randomized controlled trials (RCT). There is no major contradictory evidence, although optimal efficacy depends on the overall context of diet and physical activity. The creator relies here on a robust database that synthesizes this evidence in a transparent manner.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence: B+

Effect: fat-free mass gain (resistance training) and appetite/satiety — +0.30 kg fat-free mass with protein supplementation (95% CI 0.09-0.52), plateau at ~1.62 g/kg/day; higher protein meals reliably increase satiety vs equal-calorie lower-protein meals
Measured on: healthy training adults; weight-loss and weight-maintenance adults

More protein past roughly 1.6 g/kg/day doesn't add much for muscle or fullness. The satiety edge is real but modest, not a magic appetite switch.
