Have you ever tried that? Protein and Fat trigger the release of leptin[0]. Unless you're also eating a lot of fructose[1] with your meat, most people feel like they just can't eat anymore long before they get to the point where they would be eating considerably more energy than their body needs.
I know this from experience. Common wisdom in bodybuilding circles is to get 1g of protein per lean pound of muscle. For me, that's about 140g of protein a day. I find that number almost impossible to hit without the aid of protein powders, from an appetite perspective alone.
[0]: the hormone that tells your brain you're full.
[1]: a side effect of processing fructose is the suppression of leptin production.

Unless you're also eating a lot of fructose[1] with your meat, most people feel like they just can't eat anymore that's what happens to me when it's proteins and vegetables, I find it just stays with me for 6 hours or 8 until I need it; otherwise just passes through. Carbs are too easy to jidest* and don't get that chance, nor do they carry any vitamins/minerals/nutrients worth picking out along the way. in conclusion, I am amazing at life, and I need another beer > 140g of protein you, sir, are also amazing at life. I only need about 60. Envy your deity status.
- dllthomas 11y agoYou know, from experience, that this is the way it works for everyone? :p
- PopeOfNope 11y agoThe beautiful part about this particular topic is the ease with which it can be verified or debunked. Try it for yourself and report back!
- dllthomas 11y agoYes, clearly my adding one more data point would be conclusive about how it works for everyone.
