So what you’re saying is I need an extreme amount of protein daily?

Protein helps you eat less calories by being more satiating than carbs or fat. You feel full faster and longer, plus you burn some calories digesting it. And unless youre a body builder thats pretty much it. Its not that complicated.

More or less.
I will say that, in addition, eating more protein helps build muscle and connective tissue, and if you are an active individual (and you should be), then protien plays a vital role in your athletic recovery.
But basically: yes, eat protein. Get it from animal products or legumes. A scoop or two of protien powder probably won’t hurt. But buying Cheezits with extra protein is not a legitimate health strategy.
