Yet another advantage to eating more protein is satiety, that is, feeling fuller for longer. Clinical trials comparing energy-balanced …

what it claims

Increasing protein intake promotes satiety, which helps one feel full for longer during a calorie-controlled diet.

holds up

This advice is based on a well-documented mechanism: protein is the most satiating macronutrient.

This advice is based on a well-documented mechanism: protein is the most satiating macronutrient. The cited reference (PMID: 30127768), which is a systematic review and meta-analysis, confirms that high-protein diets significantly increase satiety compared to normal-protein diets. This phenomenon is explained by a complex modulation of hunger hormones (such as ghrelin and GLP-1) and the high thermic effect of protein. The evidence is solid (meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials), making this claim scientifically robust. It is important to note that while this effect aids in weight management, satiety also depends on other factors such as fiber and overall caloric density. It is therefore not a standalone magic solution, but an effective nutritional tool.

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.
