If that were true, then protein powder would be satiating (it's not) and potatoes wouldn't be the most satiating food.

This is just more bro-science chained onto bro-science.

Agree 100%. But lemme tell ya, "protein fluff" make from 150g skim milk, 10g protein powder, and 3g Xanthan gum whipped into a still meringue by a stand mixer is the most satiating thing I've ever eaten and it isn't even close. It is like the meringue doesn't collapse back down right away in your stomach so it is like eating (tasty) closed cell foam. I used to make it from a full cup of milk but had trouble finishing it. It's crazy filling and a godsend when cutting.

I found it needs to be skim milk. Otherwise the fat in regular milk seemed to prevent the meringue from setting up.

I do two scoops of greek yoghurt and a scoop of protein, and that's like eating ice cream :-P
