Protein is a fundamental core part of nutrition. It is required for cell and tissue repair, hormone and enzyme synthesis, and a variety of metabolic functions. It is especially important for maintaining lean body mass during increased physical activity. Protein supplementation has been found to be a determining factor in increasing fat-free mass and exercise-stimulated fat oxidation. People who consume a significantly higher protein intake (~80 g/d versus ~59 g/d) experience a significant increase in fat oxidation and fat-free mass with a significant decrease in fat mass and body fat percentage. Studies have indicated that increased protein intake enhances satiety and supports diminished food intake during subsequent meals. One randomized study suggests that pea protein is superior to milk protein with respect to satiety and interval between meals. Research has also demonstrated that pea protein stimulates release of cholecystokinin and glucagon-like peptide 1, gastrointestinal hormones that modulate appetite sensations.
