['Protein consumption after resistance exercise potentiates muscle protein synthesis, but its effects on subsequent appetite in this context are unknown. This study examined appetite and energy intake following consumption of protein- and carbohydrate-containing drinks after resistance exercise.', 'After familiarisation, 15 resistance training males (age 21\xa0±\xa01\xa0years, body mass 78.0\xa0±\xa011.9\xa0kg, stature 1.78\xa0±\xa00.07\xa0m) completed two randomised, double-blind trials, consisting of lower-body resistance exercise, followed by consumption of a whey protein (PRO 23.9\xa0±\xa03.6\xa0g protein) or dextrose (CHO 26.5\xa0±\xa03.8\xa0g carbohydrate) drink in the 5\xa0min post-exercise. An ad libitum meal was served 60\xa0min later, with subjective appetite measured throughout. Drinks were flavoured and matched for energy content and volume. The PRO drink provided 0.3\xa0g/kg body mass protein.', 'Ad libitum energy intake (PRO 3742\xa0±\xa0994\xa0kJ; CHO 4172\xa0±\xa01132\xa0kJ; P\xa0=\xa00.007) and mean eating rate (PRO 339\xa0±\xa0102\xa0kJ/min; CHO 405\xa0±\xa0154\xa0kJ/min; P\xa0=\xa00.009) were lower during PRO. The change in eating rate was associated with the change in energy intake (R\xa0=\xa00.661, P\xa0=\xa00.007). No interaction effects were observed for subjective measures of appetite. The PRO drink was perceived as creamier and thicker, and less pleasant, sweet and refreshing (P\xa0<\xa00.05).'] Does whey protein consumption after resistance exercise reduce energy intake at a post-exercise meal?
