Well protein is more filling and you may actually consume less total calories that way. Just guessing.

- maxxxxx 8y agoToo much protein just makes you fat. There is nothing good about it.
- Semirhage 8y agoToo much of any food makes you fat, it’s right there in the label “too much” after all. The issue is to what degree you can use protein and fiber to suppress appetite, not whether it’s possible to overeat protein (it definitely is).
- jschwartzi 8y agoIf you combine it with insoluble and soluble fiber it's very filling. Guess what the macros are for beans and legumes?
- ravenstine 8y agoThat's true, but it's also a balancing act since after a certain point the body converts protein into glucose. I remember how, after years of eating high-carb low-fat foods, I discovered how satiating protein-rich meal could be. Well, that and one high in fat. No longer did I feel the constant craving, but at the same time it became easy to go "woohoo!" and eat way more protein than was necessary. I'm sure years from now doctors will ask me what the hell I was doing when they find my kidneys have been wrecked.
