WHAT IS PROTEIN?

Complete protein
Animal and fish protein contain all essential
amino acids in proper proportions to one other.
This is known as a complete protein. BOOM! You
are welcome my fellow meat-eating friends. (Not
that I can take credit for it.)
Incomplete protein
So, what about vegetarians? Yes, we can also
obtain essential amino acids from the plant
kingdom. The problem is that they are not
comprehensive and do not provide complete protein
proportions.

WHY DO WE NEED PROTEIN?

There are many variables that should dictate our
protein intake. A good place to start is by
reviewing a previous blog called Feed Your Body,
where I covered the three body types. There I
provided a recommended percentage breakdown of
macros attributed to each body type. I would
suggest baselining off this percentage and adjust
from there. Unlike fat, the body does not store
protein for a rainy day.
