Relative effects of carbohydrates and protein on satiety - A review of methodology (1997)
Journal Article
Reid, M., & Hetherington, M. (1997). Relative effects of carbohydrates and protein on satiety - A review of methodology. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 21(3), 295-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0149-7634%2896%2900024-3

There is some evidence that the effects of carbohydrates and protein may differ with respect to satiety. This may depend in part on the different methods of preparing these nutrients for administration. Additional factors such as timing, different de...

Effects of carbohydrate intake on subsequent food intake and mood state (1995)
