22 May 2015 --- A new study published in the latest edition of The Journal of Nutrition found that consumption of a protein-rich afternoon snack containing soy protein resulted in reductions in appetite, a greater delay in subsequent eating, and improved diet quality in teens compared to other snack options. The study, titled, “Protein Snacks Improve Appetite and Diet Quality in Teens,” is the first study of its kind to examine whether replacement of a high fat / high sugar snack with a healthier version would lead to improvements in obesity-related outcomes in overweight young people.
