Why Protein Matters
Protein is an essential nutrient that helps build and repair muscles, supports healthy bones, produces enzymes and hormones, and contributes to many important functions throughout the body. It also plays a key role in keeping you feeling satisfied after meals.
Protein & Weight Loss
Protein may support a healthy weight loss journey by:
- Helping you feel full longer
- Supporting lean muscle during weight loss
- Reducing between-meal hunger
- Helping you stay satisfied after eating
Combined with balanced nutrition and regular activity, adequate protein can support long-term healthy habits.
Best Sources of Protein
Healthy protein sources include:
- Chicken and turkey
- Fish and seafood
- Eggs
- Greek yogurt
- Cottage cheese
- Beans and lentils
- Tofu and tempeh
- Lean beef
- Protein shakes when needed
Choosing a variety of protein sources can help provide other important nutrients as well.
Spread Protein Throughout the Day
Instead of eating most of your protein at one meal, try including a source of protein with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Spreading your intake throughout the day may help support muscle maintenance and keep you feeling satisfied.
Can You Eat Too Much Protein?
Most healthy adults can safely consume higher amounts of protein within a balanced diet. However, extremely high protein intake isn’t necessary for everyone. Individuals with kidney disease or certain medical conditions should consult their healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes.
