Protein-packed milk curbs post-workout munchies in active men
NCT ID NCT07050017
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how different types of milk affect appetite and food intake after exercise in 16 healthy, active men. Participants exercised and then drank either high-protein milk, regular milk, or a sugary drink. The high-protein milk led to fewer calories eaten at the next meal, even though feelings of hunger were similar. The goal was to understand how post-exercise drinks influence energy balance.
