COLUMBIA, Mo., May 21 (UPI) -- A small study by the University of Missouri suggests that high protein snacks improved the diet of teenagers, in addition to decreasing their appetites and improving their attitudes.
Researchers conducted a three-day study with 31 teenagers to find the different effects of high protein snacks, high fat snacks, or no snacks all. They found that the high protein snack and no snack were the ideal options, as the extra protein reduced confusion and bewilderment and skipping a snack reduced tension and anxiety.
