Why is it suggested that you eat protein at every meal to lose weight?

Question

I know protein is essential to health, but what is the significance of including it in every meal to lose weight?

Answer 1

Unfortunately so far the answers in this thread fail to point out the main reason, which is thermogenics. When your body digests the three macro nutrients (protein, carbs and fats) it does so in different ways. When you digest protein about 25% of the callories are used to heat the body, whereas these numbers are arround 5% for fats and carbs. In this way you are already burning more callories if you are getting your callories from protien, than from fat or carbs.
It does also promote muscle growh through protien synthisis however this si a seccondary benifit and not the main reason to be having protien with every meal
