High-protein meals may help overweight burn fat

Higher-protein meals may help overweight and obese people burn more fat. Australian researchers found that overweight men and women burned more post-meal fat when they ate a high-protein breakfast and lunch than when they had lower-protein meals. A number of studies have suggested that high-protein diets may help people shed weight more easily -- possibly, in part, because protein suppresses appetite better than fat or carbohydrates do. The findings were published in the journal Nutrition & Dietetics.
