:: Protein ::
Protein helps
Increase the effectiveness of your metabolism. You get sustained energy throughout the day when you eat it by 20% and it releases carbohydrates, which means energy is released.
The right amount
Proteins are essential but as well as carbs, in excess they also create some damage. The right amount for most people is no more than 1.5 grams per pound of lean body mass. Extra protein will either be turned into glucose or used for energy, will be excreted out of the body, or provide excess calories that may get turned into fat.
