The result: McDonald's wins While chicken is an obvious Men's Health staple, KFC's reliance on greasy oils and subsequent sky-high calorific content makes Maccy's an unlikely victor.

Whey is a milk-based protein. It contains all the essential amino acids and is absorbed quickly in the body ( 31 ). Whey protein has been linked to some impressive benefits, including greater weight loss, improved satiety and better body composition ( 32 , 33 ). When overweight and obese adults took 56 grams of whey protein daily for 23 weeks, they lost 5 pounds (2.3 kg) without changing anything else in their diet ( 34 ). In particular, whey protein supplements have been shown to reduce fat mass and increase lean muscle mass ( 34 , 35 , 36 ). These benefits are likely due to whey protein’s effects on satiety. A number of studies have found that whey protein may be superior at reducing feelings of hunger compared to other types of protein, such as casein, tuna, turkey and egg albumin ( 37 , 38 ). For example, one study among male athletes found that consuming whey protein shakes immediately decreased hunger by 50–65% ( 39 ). This may be because whey protein is more quickly absorbed than other protein supplements, such as casein, and is effective at preventing hunger short-term ( 31 ). Whey protein has also been shown to increase the appetite-suppressing hormones GLP-1 and GIP, as well as decrease hunger hormones like ghrelin, more than other protein sources ( 31 , 34 ). However, the evidence is mixed. Some studies report that despite improved satiety, there may be no difference in fat loss or food intake compared to supplementing with other types of protein, such as soy, rice or egg protein ( 31 , 40 , 41 ).
