    Plus, personal anecdote – carbs don’t curb my hunger as quickly as protein and fat do. On a heavy protein day, I snack little to nil.

      Thats accurate. Carbohydrates are much more easily broken down to its simple states, while proteins require more to be broken down to amino acids, so it makes you feel full longer. Fibers are also another way to stay feeling full. They’re not digestible, so it takes up space and makes you feel full without adding calories.
