Eating mushrooms can make people feel fuller than meat, research finds.
Feeling fuller from consuming the same number of calories can aid weight loss.
In one study, people who switched some of their meat intake to mushrooms lost 7 pounds and maintained this weight loss over six months.
Another study has shown that mushrooms are linked to a higher intake of crucial vitamins and minerals.
Other plant-based sources of protein work just as well as mushrooms to increase satiety.
For example, lentils, chickpeas, tofu, peanuts and quinoa are all relatively high in protein and contain many essential nutrients.
