I don't really see anybody missing the point of the conclusion of the study--I see some debate about what it all really means. For my part, I don't doubt that deficient protein could increase appetite. I was just pointing out that for me, once my protein needs are met, increasing protein actually seems to increase my appetite, while fat is more satiating. On a very high fat diet, I seem to be able to nibble moderately at a handful of nuts or peanuts--when I was targeting protein around 160 grams a day, I experienced uncontrolled binges. |
