It's difficult to lose weight in a healthy, sustainable way without getting adequate levels of protein in your daily diet. For one, protein helps you feel satiated for longer periods of time and reduces your hunger hormones. Protein also has a higher TEF (thermic effect of food) than fat or carbohydrates, meaning your body burns more calories when you eat it. And on top of that, protein can help you build muscle mass.

Experts share some of the best high-protein foods to eat when your goal is to lose weight.
