Does Casein Protein make you fat?Updated a year ago

If consumed correctly, Casein protein should support weight loss, as opposed to weight gain. This is because it helps keep you fuller for longer, absorbing slowly and providing you with essential amino acids. A high intake of protein can help you maintain weight loss by reducing cravings, increasing calorie burn and altering weight hormones(Brown, J. 2017).

If you consume too many calories while trying to increase your protein intake then it can lead to weight gain. Consuming too much protein on top of your usual diet can have negative effects on your weight goals, however, if you consume it to replace a meal, it should support healthy weight loss in the long term.
