Why do foods that are high in protein keep you full longer than a candy bar ?

protein reduces your level of hunger hormone ghrelin and protein also increases levels of peptide YY which is a hormone that makes you feel full so it’s easier to get full on protein than a candy bar which is only full of sugars that don’t make you feel full
