Do you often find yourself eating a lovely meal through out the day and then fins an hour later your tummy is rumbling again??? Well if this is you it could mean you are not eating enough protein!
The University of Sydney did a study that found people who skimped on protein in their meals in fact ate more calories than those who did. It discovered that people who were on a 10% protein diet ate more calories overall, with 70% of these coming from snacks, when compared to people on a 15% protein diet.
Therefore is has been suggested that we should aim to get 15-20% of our daily calories from protein rich foods, which include things such as lean meat, fish, legumes and nuts.
