Protein is an essential component of good health. However, there are a number of misconceptions about how much and what kind of protein we should consume. More protein isn’t always better. Instead, we should focus on consuming good protein at regular intervals throughout the day.
People should eat about 1g protein / kg of body weight. Instead of consuming it all at one time, you should eat it throughout the day. If your body consumes too much protein at one time, it will not be able to process it.
People should focus on consuming better proteins, especially better plant protein as your primary protein source. If you’re going to consume animal protein, you should focus on consuming less, better quality animal protein. These tips will help you to consume a healthy diet and live a healthier life.
