REYNA, Nadia et al. Snack high whey protein improves the level of satiety and reduces appetite healthy women. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.4, pp.1624-1628. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2015.32.4.9405.

Background: the nutritional content and energy density of foods is related to greater control of appetite, satiety and reducing food intake. Methods/Subjects: the randomized crossover study included 20 healthy women, aged 20 and 30 years with a BMI of 20 to 24.9 kg/m2 and who completed that included 3 day trial comparing 8 hours 130 kcal snacks consumed afternoon: yoghurt with added whey protein (PSL), biscuits and chocolate. Participants consumed a standardized menu; snack was consumed 3 hours after lunch. Perceived hunger and fullness were evaluated during the afternoon until dinner voluntary intake ad libitum. They repeat the same snack 3 times. Results: consumption of yogurt with PSL led to a further reduction of appetite in the afternoon in front of the snack of chocolate and biscuits (p < 0.001). No differences of appetite in the afternoon between chocolate vs cookies but significant difference between yogurt with PSL and other treatments (p < 0.001) were detected. At snack, yogurt there was a significant reduction in caloric intake compared to other snacks (p < 0.001) and a later request for dinner with about 45 minutes apart. Conclusions: snacks with less energy density and rich in protein (yogurt with PSL) improve the control of appetite, satiety and reduces food intake in healthy women later.
