Protein is not just for building muscle. It also serves as the building blocks for skin, hair, nails and hormones.
Protein also improves fat loss, recovery from workouts, prevents muscle loss, helps you feel more full after meals and improves metabolic health.
If you don’t consume enough protein, it may be difficult to lose body fat or build muscle.
Additionally, if you’re in a calorie deficit for fat loss and consistently falling short of your protein goal, you may lose muscle in addition to any fat you lose.
To say protein is important would be an understatement!
