Welcome to the Protein episode.
Considering that the word protein comes from the Greek word ‘protos’ which means first or most important, that should already be showing you how important protein is.
Of all the macronutrients, we find clients struggle the most with getting in enough protein. Yet it is the KEY macronutrient for repair, recovery, and adaption not just for people into fitness, but for everyone.
In this episode we discuss:
What does our body use protein for?
The types of amino acids: essential and non-essential.
A look into their digestion and metabolism.
The recommended amount of protein to eat.
How often to eat protein and how much can our body use.
The different types of protein quality.
How to get in enough of the right protein for vegetarians and vegans.
Supplementing with whey and plant-based proteins and essential amino acids.
We really hope you enjoy this third instalment of our macronutrient series.
