The Power of Protein & Fiber
Protein Power
Protein is highly satiating. It takes longer to digest and can reduce levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
Fabulous Fiber
Fiber adds bulk to meals, slows digestion, and helps stabilize blood sugar, promoting sustained fullness.
Hydration Helps
Drinking water before and during meals can also contribute to feelings of fullness and aid digestion.
Common Questions
How much protein and fiber do I need?
Individual needs vary. General guidelines suggest around 0.8g of protein per kg of body weight for adults, and 25-38g of fiber per day. Consult a dietitian for personalized amounts.
Can this tool help me lose weight?
Focusing on satiating meals rich in protein and fiber can support weight management by helping you feel fuller on fewer calories and reducing cravings. However, this tool is for meal ideas, not a comprehensive weight loss plan.
What if I’m vegetarian or vegan?
Excellent! Plant-based diets are often rich in fiber. Focus on protein sources like lentils, beans, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, seitan, quinoa, nuts, and seeds. This tool works great for plant-based meal planning.
Are cravings purely psychological?
Cravings can be both physiological (e.g., blood sugar fluctuations, nutrient deficiencies) and psychological (e.g., stress, habit, emotional eating). Balanced, satiating meals can help address the physiological aspect.
