Episode notes
Protein's Unique Metabolic Role
- Protein uniquely promotes muscle, satiety, and insulin sensitivity compared with carbs or fats.
- Markets have over-fortified processed foods with protein, giving a false health signal.
Choose Protein-Fortified Snacks Wisely
- Use protein-fortified whole or minimally processed foods to hit daily targets when whole foods are inconvenient.
- Prefer real animal sources but accept fortified snacks over ultra-refined carb snacks to improve satiety.
Evolution Behind Protein Satiety
- Protein likely evolved as a strong satiety signal tied to amino acid sufficiency and fat presence in whole kills.
- Hitting protein targets on whole foods often naturally limits excess calorie intake.
