Downing a protein shake an hour after your morning meal can help cut cravings, a study in the journal Appetite found.
Active men who chugged whey protein saw their hunger subside immediately by as much as 65 per cent – nice for when lunch rolled around.
The volume of the shake didn’t matter, says study author Kristen MacKenzie-Shalders. Those who consumed 20, 40, 60 or 80 grams all ate the same number of kilojoules at lunch.
