Mushroom protein beats meat for fullness, say researchers

Mushrooms may be more filling than meat when matched in terms of protein content, researchers have found.

Mushrooms may be more filling than meat when matched in terms of protein content, researchers have found:Previous studies have already suggested that mushrooms can be more satiating than meat, but this effect has never been studied with protein-matched amounts.In this study, which was funded by the Mushroom Council, US researchers gave a group of individuals protein-matched meals of either 226 g of sliced A. bisporus mushrooms (commonly known as white button mushrooms) and 28 g of 93% lean ground beef.According to the scientists, the participants reported less hunger and greater feelings of fullness after the mushroom breakfast. They also planned to eat less in the subsequent meal (‘decreased prospective consumption’).
