Low-dose whey protein-enriched water beverages alter satiety in a study of overweight women.

Aim: To determine the effect of low-dose whey protein-enriched water beverages on postprandial satiety and energy intake (EI).

Methods: Fifty overweight and mildly obese women were given 500 mL water-based beverages on 4 different occasions in a double blind, cross-over study. The beverages were reasonably matched for colour, flavour, sweetness and contained 0% (water control, 0 g, 8 kJ), 1% (5 g, 93 kJ), 2% (10 g, 178 kJ) and 4% (20 g, 348 kJ) whey protein by weight (ClearProtein8855™).
