The evidence in words
The verdict
For satiety / fat loss, Whey Protein earns evidence grade B (small effect, high consistency) — there is real evidence here. Protein's thermic/satiety edge
How it might work
Its high leucine content maximally triggers muscle protein synthesis, and rapid digestion delivers amino acids quickly after training.
How to use it
Safety & cautions
Very safe; lactose in concentrate can bother the intolerant (use isolate).
Bottom line
The default protein supplement. 20–40 g to fill a daily gap; isolate if lactose bothers you. It's convenience, not magic — total daily protein is what matters.
