Yup 👍🏻 as well as protein being the highest of the macros relating to the thermic effect of food which is also helpful. 

Yup Protein first followed by carbs and last are fats with respect to TEF. This helps to explain the 'Fung Effect' and folks mistakenly believe that BMR and the components of TDEE aren't relative when they eat a high fat diet. PS--the 'Fung Effect' isn't patented yet but our staff is working on it. 

What kind of protein do you like? I am not a big fan of red meat or beans. So, I do eggs, chicken, Chobani, pork sometimes. It gets boring.  

Cool story, bro.

I'm in with protein too...  

Yeah, I was never a fan of diets that promoted fat. I tried Atkins early in life and while it did work, it didn't promote healthy eating habits and I Scentsy regained the lost weight. The keto diet is similar. I did Weight Watchers too, and while I don't necessarily agree with all aspects of that program, in the end, caloric restriction combined with healthy eating makes the most sense. That's really all WW is. Ketogenics believes that a high fat diet will reprogram your metabolism into burning more fat; since it's harder for the body to burn fat than carbs or protein. Which is why the keto diet tends to be very low on carbs. But too much fat has other undesirable effects; such as increased cholesterol and heart disease. Which is why it's not a long term lifestyle choice. Too much protein also has its downsides; ie kidney stones, and it too is not a long term lifestyle choice. A balanced diet is really the only answer, one where you reduce calories and increase activity. 

It takes more than a, "balanced diet", it takes strict adherence to a calorie deficit, and when you stop eating in a calorie deficit, and most people WILL stop eating in a calorie deficit, you'll get fat. Again. I'm coming to the conclusion that the majority of people can't stick to anything, and they all end up regaining sooner or later. It's the rare person that loses and keeps it off.  

This is what I found in your article: However, further study of the effects of dietary protein intake on renal function and calcium balance will be required before high-protein diets can be widely recommended for weight loss. 

Protein helps in many various reasons not just relating to dieting. The main reasons it can aid in dieting is because, protein helps keep you full, as it is the most filling among the other macronutrients, it has the highest thermic effect of foodaiding in more calories being burned off through digestion, and of course to retain muscle mass (and in some circumstances build/rebuild some during a calorie deficit). Your muscles, organs, skin, hair, nails, bones, certain hormones and much more are all made up of some amount of protein. It’s responsible for the growth and repair of all of the cells and tissues in your body. Protein is also the provider of many essential amino acids as well. So protein is a main component that can aid in any form of long term health & diet & fitness.
