A major scientific review is challenging the idea that more protein is always better.

The review, led by pathologist and biomedical researcher Dudley Lamming and published in the journal Cell Press Blue, examined more than 350 studies involving humans, mice, insects, yeast, and other organisms.

The review found that eating less protein, or less of certain amino acids that make up protein, may turn on body processes linked to healthier aging, as well as metabolism, the process by which the body turns food and drinks into energy.

I don't think it's beneficial to look at bread so reductively. Effects of bread on weight (or health) depend on the type of bread, quantity, and the person having it.

For example I eat homemade sourdough bread with lentils and greens. And I'm very lean. Eddie hall also eats some sourdough btw.

For thousands of years, we ate bread and didn't get fat. It's been a fundamental source of nutrition so much so that it has become a synonym for food.
