Protein: Why It Is So Important

Protein is probably that ONE macro that no one is afraid of, yet it’s still the one that most people have trouble eating enough of.

What Protein Does For Us:

  • Helps grow and repair tissues and muscles

  • Promotes satiety (reduces hunger hormone)(feeling of fullness)

Where To Get Yours (Short List):

  • Poultry

  • Eggs

  • Seafood

  • Meat

  • Tofu

  • Beans

  • Lentils

  • Edamame

  • Hemp Seeds

  • Pumpkin Seeds

As always, opt for whole (unprocessed) foods as often as possible.
