Abstract: The research hypothesis was that the effect of protein on short-term satiety and food intake in humans depends on the source. Two experiments were conducted, in which young men consumed 180 kcal treatments. Food intake was measured 60 minutes later. In experiment 1, subjects chose to arrive at either 9AM or 11AM. Control, intact soy, whey and egg proteins, as well as sucrose were given, and only whey and soy suppressed food intake. An interaction (p = 0.04) was found between arrival time and treatment, where egg increased intake compared to control at 11AM, but had no effect at 9AM. In experiment 2, control, egg and whey were administered; only whey suppressed intake. No interaction was found (p = 0.11), but intake following egg tended to be less for later arrival group (p = 0.07). In conclusion, the effect of protein on the feeding response is determined by its source, as well as time of testing.
