Eggs vs. cottage cheese: which snack keeps you fuller?
NCT ID NCT01154582
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well the body uses egg protein and whether eggs make you feel fuller than cottage cheese. Forty-three healthy adults took part in two separate tests: one measured protein use with special tracers, and the other compared the feeling of fullness after eating eggs or cottage cheese. The goal was to understand how egg protein affects appetite and nutrient processing.
