PROTEIN REQUIREMENTS<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>How much protein should you have in your diet? \u00a0Generally, you\u2019ll want between 15 and 20% of your daily calories to come from protein. \u00a0You\u2019ll want to make sure that the proteins you\u2019re picking are from lean meats and non-fat dairy products so that you\u2019re not taking in a high fat content with your protein. \u00a0Other good sources of protein include nuts, soy, grains, beans and vegetables.<\/p>\n

Eating protein is a great way to fill up because you can eat less of it than other foods, and feel satisfied faster and longer. \u00a0Protein is also used for increasing muscle mass and for maintaining the respiratory, immune and cardiovascular systems.<\/p>\n

Of course, you\u2019ll still want to eat a properly balanced diet that is rich in all of the necessary nutrients. \u00a0Be sure to check the nutritional label to see how your food measures up.<\/p>\n
