Vegetable protein may fill you up better than meat. This holiday season, load up on greens, beans, potatoes, and tomatoes. You may walk away from the dinner table feeling fuller than if you ate meat! Researchers from the University of Copenhagen evaluated whether meals based on vegetable protein or meat protein were more effective at appetite satiation. They provided normal-weight adult men with either veal and pork or beans and peas. They found that those who were forced to go vegan reported lower hunger scores and higher fullness after the meal compared wth those who ate meat. We think it’s because of all the extra fiber you get from veggies. One great way to eat more beans is by sneaking them into your baked goods.
