So, what is proteine?
Protein is an essential macronutrient found in foods like meat, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts. It plays a crucial role in building, repairing, and maintaining tissues in the body, including muscles, bones, skin, and hair. Protein is made up of smaller units called amino acids, which are linked together in various sequences to form different types of proteins. These amino acids can be obtained from both animal and plant-based sources. Adequate protein intake is important for optimal health, and it can also help with weight management, as it promotes feelings of fullness and can reduce cravings.
