Before debating advanced macros, make dinner high-protein enough to reduce the late-night runway.

Questions that cite this source.
Protein and recomp answer
How much protein do you need for body recomposition?
Protein is one of the most reliable supports for body recomposition, but it is not magic by itself. Training creates the adaptation signal; protein helps support satiety, recovery, and lean-mass retention while calories are managed.
Food environment answer
Are ultra-processed foods bad for fat loss?
Ultra-processed foods are not morally bad, but they can make fat loss harder when they increase passive calorie intake, cravings, and repeated food-cue decisions. The coaching move is default design, not fear-mongering.
Protein and hunger answer
Does protein help you stay full?
Protein can help many people feel fuller and make a fat-loss plan easier to repeat, but it is not a hunger off-switch. Its best coaching use is as a meal-structure anchor that protects lean mass and reduces the odds of random grazing.
