<jats:p>Healthy adult men and women (n=11, 38+/−2.98 y, BMI: 26.1+/−1.1) participated in a 7‐day crossover feeding study with 30 day washout to evaluate the acute and sustained effects of protein distribution on indices of satiety. Study diets were isoenergetic and isonitrogenous, containing 90 g total protein/day. The even protein distribution diet provided: 30 g (breakfast), 30 g (lunch) and 30 g (dinner). The skewed protein distribution diet provided: 10 g (breakfast), 15 g (lunch) and 65 g (dinner). Visual analog questionnaires measured hunger and fullness three hours after ingestion of each meal. On day one, subjects reported less hunger (p=0.02) and greater fullness (p=0.04) following the breakfast meal containing 30 g vs. 10 g of protein. Conversely, the skewed, high protein (65 g) evening meal had no greater effect on satiety than the more moderate 30 g protein meal (p>0.2). Following 7 days habituation to each diet, there was no change in satiety indices in response to the morning and evening meals. In conclusion, compared to a typical skewed daily protein intake, consuming a moderate amount of protein with each meal promotes satiety following breakfast and may enable more efficient and effective management of daily protein and energy intake.</jats:p>
