Why This Exact Recipe
Every part of the ratio matters more than it looks. One tablespoon delivers roughly 6 grams of protein, enough to register as a fullness signal without being a meal in itself. The 8oz of liquid adds the volume half of the mechanism, and the 15-20 minute wait gives that combination time to reach your brain's fullness signals before your fork touches your plate. Change any one part significantly and you're changing how well the appetite effect actually works.
