    I feel full for a few hours when I drink 8 oz of Muscle Milk and it only has 20g of protein. I feel very full after I eat 3-4 oz of any meat which usually has 20+g. Everyone is different though

    It's almost like there haven't been dozens of posts here relating to the idea that protein shakes are not necessarily satiating and could end up spurring overeating as compared to getting protein from solid food.

    Wrong thread, m8.

    You keep asking for some science, here you go haters

    Proves is the wrong word when speaking about science

    No, that's kinda what science does, but one study isn't proving a fact. It's noting a trend or showing a theory and indicates that more studies would be good. You need multiple studies with proper control groups, done by different people and different situations to be on the path to proving something, but part of science is using facts to prove theories.

    If protein isn't protein does that mean we can end the sugar is sugar arguments now?

    Here are a few studies which show protein is more satiating than carbs or fats. You have to realize that highly processed foods like whey protein powder are not as satiating as something like eggs or meat, which is what your study suggests. The study you posted can't be extrapolated to all protein sources.

    Maybe its the fat in those products that make you full. Meat and eggs are more than just protein bro

    So you didn't read the studies I posted is what you're saying?

    Behold the glory of a thread that proves - yes, proves beyond a doubt - that a zero level in science literacy leads to tragedies like the original post.

    Thank you. I'll be here all morning.

    A drink made from straight protein powder doesn't fill me up either. It's not a complete meal and lacks calories, carbs, fiber and fat.

    For a quick protein powder-based snack, I'll start with protein powder and liquid and add coconut oil, and for a slightly heartier snack, some fruit as well.

    For my breakfast smoothie, in addition to protein powder, I add fat from an egg and peanut butter, fiber from chia and flax seeds, and carbs from bananas and am full til lunch.

    Listen here... I have two liberal arts degrees, please show me a little respect

    You didn't learn your mistake from the first one? Mine at least prepared me for the breadline, which provided sustenance as I switched to science.

    No. Science can not "prove" anything. It is only able to disprove or to offer support for a theory. The word prove indicates that a solution has been found (in a closed sense), this does not apply to science. Even if there is support for a theory,meaning the findings are consistent with a theory, the theory can always be disproved with a future measurement.

    Good for you. Getting any degree is hard, much less two. Not meaning that sarcastically, either, I've got two degrees and it was hella hard for some of the classes!

    However, you're still wrong. One study doesn't prove anything. Especially such a broad statement like protein isn't filling. That's not even what the study says. That study is about protein BEVERAGES, which I think most of us agree it won't make you feel full because most liquids wouldn't make you feel full for long. If your post had been about protein powders or additives to liquids not making you feel full, I don't think this discussion would've devolved the way it has.

    I blame my elective physics professor - dual PhDs in physics & philosophy and would remark that he "used the income from his physics grants to fund his philosophical pursuits of feeling superior to his fellow (and lesser) man".
