Protein is a great weight control tool because of the immediate satiety factor and because it keeps you full for longer periods. It also balances out carbs by preventing insulin spikes that lead to energy drain and sugar cravings.
Protein also helps maintain muscle mass which is very important in the fat burning process. At least 20% of calories should be in the form of protein which can be obtained by eating low fat cottage cheese, low fat yogurt, skim milk, egg whites, fish, shrimp, skinless chicken or turkey, beef, lentils, kidney beans, tofu and soy products.
