Protein and Weight Loss
- Protein changes the levels of several weight-regulating hormones:

- Reduces levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin
- Digesting and metabolizing protein burns calories:
- Thermic effect of protein is higher (20-30%) compared to carbs (5-10%) and fat (0-3%)
- Protein burns more calories (increases “calories out”):
- High protein intake tends to boost metabolism and increase calories burned
- Study found that overfeeding with a high protein diet increased calories burned by 260 per day
- Protein reduces appetite (fewer calories):
- High protein intake leads to an automatic reduction in calorie intake
- Study found that protein at 30% of calories caused people to automatically drop their calorie intake by 441 calories per day
- Protein cuts cravings and reduces desire for snacking:
- Study found that protein can have a powerful effect on both cravings and the desire to snack at night
- Protein helps prevent muscle loss and metabolic slowdown:
- Eating plenty of protein can reduce muscle loss, which helps keep metabolic rate higher as you lose body fat
