Whey-Protein-Appetite-Meta-AnalysisCurrent sports nutrition guidelines recommend that nutrient intake should occur soon after exercise, with the first 2 to 4 h considered a key window for effective recovery [,,].1Tunçil Elif (2026)Beyond Recovery: Effects of Post-Exercise Milk and Milk-Based Beverages on Appetite Regulation and Energy Intake—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Whey-Protein-Appetite-Meta-AnalysisEvidence suggests that milk and milk-based beverages may provide similar, or in some cases potentially superior, recovery benefits compared with alternative recovery beverages.1Tunçil Elif (2026)Beyond Recovery: Effects of Post-Exercise Milk and Milk-Based Beverages on Appetite Regulation and Energy Intake—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Whey-Protein-Appetite-Meta-AnalysisIn this regard, some studies have reported reduced hunger, increased fullness, and/or lower subsequent energy intake following milk or milk-based beverages compared with isocaloric or non-caloric control beverages, whereas others have observed no significant differences across these outcomes [,,].1Tunçil Elif (2026)Beyond Recovery: Effects of Post-Exercise Milk and Milk-Based Beverages on Appetite Regulation and Energy Intake—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Whey-Protein-Appetite-Meta-AnalysisIn particular, whey protein has demonstrated strong potential for postprandial glucose management, and more recent findings highlighted evidence for increased efficacy of whey protein when consumed before, rather than with a carbohydrate-rich meal.2Elbira A (2026)Pea protein preload improves postprandial glucose response in healthy adults: a randomized, double-blind, controlled pilot study.
Whey-Protein-Appetite-Meta-AnalysisGiven the strong interest yet limited evidence on plant-based protein, the present study compared the potential of pea protein consumed prior to carbohydrates, on postprandial glucose as well as satiety and blood pressure (BP).2Elbira A (2026)Pea protein preload improves postprandial glucose response in healthy adults: a randomized, double-blind, controlled pilot study.
