Whey Protein & Satiety It is well known that protein can help with weight loss. It is the most fulfilling macronutrient, by far (30). Protein can boost metabolism by 80 to 100 calories per day, and make people automatically eat up to 441 fewer calories per day (31, 32, 33, 34). In one study, eating protein at 25% of calories cut cravings by 60%, and reduced the desire for late-time snacking by half (35). Taking whey protein is a great way to increase your protein intake, which should have major benefits for weight loss. Studies have shown that replacing other sources of calories with whey protein, combined with weight lifting, can cause weight loss of about 8 pounds, while increasing lean muscle mass (36). Therefore… if you’re trying to lose weight, then a whey protein supplement can help you both lose weight and hold on to your precious muscle (37, 38). Bottom Line: Protein has been shown to help weight loss by boosting metabolism (calories out) and reducing appetite (calories in). Whey protein can help increase fat loss, while preserving lean muscle mass.
