    I tell ya…it’s to the point where even some menus now tell you how many grams of protein are in this or that, as if protein is some kind of superfood.

    More protein means more satiation. In other words, if you eat more protein, instead of carbs, you’ll feel “full” sooner. source

      It’s also helpful if you’re on a specific diet and can see the breakdown. Example being putting on muscle, you’re supposed to eat 1.2g per lb you weigh to help gain muscle mass (obviously while doing the required work).
