You get an F for your knowledge of nutrition. Protein is one of the highest foods for satiety, and it keeps you feeling full longer. It's not that you literally need to fill your stomach with food.
I think there’s a difference between protein from animal sources vs protein from plant sources. Sure, eating a steak will weigh you down for hours, because it’s difficult to digest. With plant proteins, that level of satiety is only achieved when combining the protein with dense whole grains.

this sounds amazing.
