Protein + Fat destroys hunger. Eat them together. In fact if you don't get enough fat you starve. [1]
One reason protein is filling is it signals a hormone PPY for satiety [2]. Ever try eating a jumbo can of tuna? You'll feel a lump in your throat. You can't eat much.
Hormones usually are dismissed as wonky, but they actually do factor in weight loss.
