Protein and Weight Management â. Consuming a higher protein diet can help you lose weight. Protein helps regulate appetite and cravings by enhancing the feeling of fullness for longer after a meal or snack.
The question of protein quality also is important to consider within the context of foods in the overall diet. If a child eats enough protein, but is not eating enough food to meet calorie needs, protein is used for energy rather than for its irreplaceable roles in muscle mass development and maintenance and hormone production.
