Meals I’ve been having lately, focusing on protein and fibre.
I talk a lot and I mean a lot about the benefits of Protein and here’s why.
1 Helps build lean muscle.
Protein is essential to building muscle tissue. Eating enough protein in conjunction with resistance training is shown to increase muscle mass and strength.
Eating enough protein can also help you maintain that lean muscle mass, especially if you’re cutting calories to lose weight.
2 Curb cravings.
Protein helps regulate your blood sugar, also known as blood glucose. Pairing carbs with a source of protein can help blunt a glucose spike that can leave you feeling sluggish and hangry
3 Boost metabolism.
More muscle mass means more calories burned at rest.
The thermic effect of food refers to the energy, or calories, your body burns by digesting and absorbing food. Protein has the highest thermic effect of all macronutrients. That means your body burns more calories digesting and processing protein than it does carbs or fat.
