Here is a deep nugget on weight loss: Many people, in an attempt to eat more protein, take in far more carbohydrates and fats than they need. As a species, our appetite prioritises protein (the most precious food component for growth and development). When we take a lot of processed foods, there is a dearth of expensive protein, and a surfeit of cheaper carbs and fats that are engineered to taste like proteins. The food industry makes a profitable product, but your body gets a big imbalance in the food. Appetite is aroused to seek to correct this imbalance. It is noteworthy that in the last few decades of the obesity epidemic in the US, the protein content of the diet has actually declined marginally, while the carb and fat content has gone up by 8%. The debates on macros misses this crucial link on appetite. Its not about calories, alone.
