Iron Culture


Nov 28, 2022

While technically correct, saying “protein is the most satiating macro” misses the point. We don’t actually eat macros, we eat foods that have a macronutrient profile, and two diets identical in their macronutrient profile may differ in their effects on hunger and satiety. In prior episodes, we’ve discussed protein in depth, but this is the first time we’ve had an in-depth discussion on how protein influences satiety. Further, we address misconceptions about fat gain on high-protein diets and the impact of high-protein diets on energy expenditure. Ultimately you’ll learn that when considering satiety, macros, foods, meals, and diets all need to be considered in context for an accurate picture.
