Protein(PRO): PRO is the most satiating macro followed by carbs & fat meaning that it will help keep you full & decrease appetite thus allowing you to create a kcaal deficit “easier”. Also, as the most thermogenic macro, a large proportion of the kcals from PRO are burned off via digestion . Finally, higher PRO intakes repeatedly outperform low/moderate ones for preserving LBM & reducing fat under periods of kcal restriction thus increasing PRO intake is highly advised.

Volume(VOL): A large part of feeling full is related to gastric distension taking place ie. the amount your stomach is filled/pushed out. Thus foods high in VOL with minimal kcals can aid in stretching your stomach & signalling the mechanoreceptor neurons in the stomach to tell your brain that you are full & thus stimulating the termination of a meal . Studies even show that those who opt for high VOL, low energy density foods will sig. decrease hunger & desire to eat vs those who don’t.
