HOW IMPORTANT IS PROTEIN

 

 Hey guys. Just an FYI about protein. It's pretty important in exercise and weight loss. Consuming it helps you breakdown food- that is burn calories. There are many different benefits in eating protein but I'm kinda pressed for time right now, so here are just a few.

 The body needs protein to repair and maintain itself. amino acids. Every cell in the human body contains protein. It is a major part of the skin, muscles, organs, and glands. You need protein in your diet to help your body repair cells and make new ones. Protein is also important for after exercise to help build and repair muscle.

  When proteins are digested, amino acids are left. The human body needs amino acids to break down food. Amino acids need to be eaten in large enough amounts for optimal health.
Amino acids are found in animal sources such as meats, milk, fish, and eggs, as well as in plant sources such as soy, beans, legumes, nut butters, and some grains (such as wheat germ). You do not need to eat animal products to get all the protein you need in your diet.

Adults are encouraged to get 0.5-0.8g of protein per pound of body weight. Less if you're less active and more if you're more active. The equation is simple: 0.5(g of protein) X 150(body weight) = 75g of daily protein.

  Hope that's a good start for all who's trying to lose weight but are not sure what to cut. To put it simply, don't cut your protein.
