The claim: eating it 15 to 30 minutes before a meal helps you feel fuller faster, cut cravings, and reduce calorie intake. That might be enough protein to take the edge off hunger, but not enough to meaningfully impact metabolism or muscle mass. The recommended amount of protein at a given meal is at least 20-30 grams. (Adding fruit, sweetener, or juice will change the sugar and calorie count.) “The gelatin trick sits at the crossroads of two major trends,” says Kayla Reynolds, MS, NASM-CPT, Director of Knowledge, Learning & Behavior at Noom. “It taps into the popularity of high-protein eating and the fascination with simple, science-inspired hacks.. Unfortunately, there’s not much evidence behind it.”
